Voyage pittoresque de la France : avec la description de toutes ses provinces : ouvrage national dédié au Roi et orne d'un grand nombre de gravures exécutées avec les plus grand soin d'après les dessins des meilleurs artistes
A late eighteenth-century French travel book published in Paris by Lamy between 1791 and 1800, dedicated to the king and describing each province of France through engraved views. The four plates show a riverside town with hills and boats, a walled courtyard with a gate and bell tower, a street plan of a harbour town, and a formal ceremony with robed officials and a kneeling figure. Designers can draw on their clean grey aquatint and line-engraving tones, strong architectural perspectives and crisp ceremonial staging for period-style layouts.
