Expédition scientifique de Morée, ordonnée par le gouvernement français : architecture, sculptures, inscriptions et vues du Péloponèse, des Cyclades et de l'Atlantique

Blouet, Guillaume-Abel, 1795-1853 · 1831 · Paris : Firmin Didot · 18 pictures

This is a French scientific survey of the 1829 Morea expedition, published in Paris in 1831 by Firmin Didot under architect Guillaume-Abel Blouet, documenting ancient architecture, sculpture and inscriptions of the Peloponnese and Cyclades for a scholarly audience. The engraved plates show landscape views and measured drawings of ruined sites, with soft grey tonal shading and wide margins, offering designers a model for antiquarian topographic prints and cross-section diagrams of excavated ground.
