Reise des Grafen von Choiseul-Gouffier durch Griechenland

Choiseul-Gouffier, Marie Gabriel Florent Auguste de · 1780 · 4 pictures

A 1780 German-language travelogue by Marie Gabriel Florent Auguste de Choiseul-Gouffier, the French count and antiquarian, recounting his journey through Greece for readers interested in archaeology and topography. The pictures are fine engravings: two interior and street scenes of women on the island of Tina with costume detail, a folding map of Greece and the Aegean with dense lettering and a decorative cartouche, and a library stamp that marks the Heidelberg copy, so the designer can draw on the costume and cartographic line work.
