Athenes : décrite et dessinée

Breton, Ernest, 1812-1875 · 1868 · Paris : Guerin · 33 pictures

Athènes, décrite et dessinée is an 1868 Paris travel book by the archaeologist and writer Ernest Breton, published by Guérin for a French readership interested in Greek antiquity. Its pictures are small black-and-white wood engravings of ground plans, a stone doorway at Mycenae, a rock-cut tomb facade and a grave mound, drawn in fine parallel hatching on warm cream paper, useful to designers for their clean line structure and label lettering.
