Travels in Greece, Turkey, and the Holy Land, in 1817 - 18

Forbin, Auguste de · 1819 · 7 pictures

Travels in Greece, Turkey, and the Holy Land, in 1817-18 is an 1819 illustrated travel account by Auguste de Forbin, recording Levantine sites for European readers. The engraved plates show rock-cut tombs, a cave entrance, a sacred interior with lamps and drapery, a lake shore, and ruined town views, all drawn in fine line with sparse shading that a designer could borrow for antique topographic maps or archaeological-style landscape compositions.
