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
This is a late eighteenth-century French travel book, the Voyage pittoresque de la France, published in Paris by Lamy in 1791 and dedicated to the king as a national survey of France's provinces. Its engravings show topographical views of towns, rivers and churches, drawn from the work of leading artists. Pictures show town skylines seen across rivers and fields, with small figures on roads, horses and boats; a designer might borrow their clear, low-contrast tonal grey landscape style and the way buildings sit within open country.
