Mon tour du Lac Léman : raconté à mes enfants
A children's travel narrative published in 1856 by Meyrueis, written by Napoléon Roussel as an account of a tour around Lake Geneva told to his own children. The four pictures are black-and-white steel-engraved or wood-engraved scenes: a rural frontispiece of a woman and boy by a lake, a view of Geneva's lakeshore with trees, a crowded tableau captioned about a massacre, and an interior with seated figures. A designer could take from them the dense, hatched linework and the sepia-toned period page layouts with ornamental vine borders.
