Nouveau voyage d'Italie, avec un memoire contenant des avis utiles à ceux qui voudront faire le mesme voyage
A 1698 travel guide to Italy published at The Hague by Henri van Bulderen, written for prospective travellers and illustrated with engraved views of Venetian and Roman sites. The engravings are precise line prints: the St Mark's Square view shows arcaded palazzi and a tall campanile under a clean sky, the Basilica's ornamented altar and reliefs are drawn in fine hatching, and a Venetian galley with raked oars sits in the lagoon. A designer could take their architectural perspective, orderly crowds and ship rigging as period reference for classical urban scenes.
