L'Album; giornale letterario e di belle arti
L'Album was a literary and fine arts periodical printed in Rome in 1834 by the Tipografia delle Belle Arti, aimed at a general educated readership interested in letters and art. Its engravings are architectural views: a classical temple-like building with a seated figure in a niche, a semicircular stone arena, a Gothic-arched doorway with ornate tracery, and a Neapolitan courtyard with a fountain and arcaded palazzo. Designers can draw on their clean line hatching, stone textures, and the layered perspective of foreground figures and receding walls.
