Landscape illustrations of the Bible : consisting of views of the most remarkable places mentioned in the Old and New Testaments : from original sketches taken on the spot engraved by W. and E. Finden
Landscape illustrations of the Bible, published in London by John Murray in 1836, with text by Thomas Hartwell Horne and engravings by W. and E. Finden after original sketches taken on the spot, including work associated with J. M. W. Turner. The pictures are rotated steel-engraved views of biblical sites, with terraced hills, walled towns, rocky ravines and small groups of travellers in the foreground. A designer might take their tonal layering of distant hills and atmospheric haze as a model for topographic scenes built from fine line and soft shading.
