Voyage pittoresque de la France is a French topographical travel book published in Paris by Lamy between 1791 and 1800, dedicated to the king and describing the provinces of France through engraved views. Its plates, drawn from the work of leading artists, present town vistas, castles, river crossings and classical ruins in fine black-and-white line engraving. A designer might take from them the clean architectural perspectives, the wide skies and the small staffage figures placed along riverbanks and roads.
