The images here (click for full size versions) come from a 4-volume set from ~1755, 'Musei Capitolini' which were (pretty obviously) a catalogue of the sculptural holdings of the Capitoline Museums of Rome - a group of art and archaeological repositories atop the Capitoline Hill in Rome. The majority of the engravings appear to be from ancient Roman sculptures but there are occasional items from ancient Greece and Egypt.
An awesome page scan set (again) from BibliOdyssey. This time, it's a 18th century art and history reference book.

I am afraid these page scans are our only chance to browse this book. Hopefully one of the big electronic libraries add it in their collection soon.
