Saint-Non, Jean Claude Richard de · 1781 · 88 pictures

Voyage Pittoresque is a 1781 French travel description of the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily by Jean Claude Richard de Saint-Non, written for armchair travellers and collectors of antiquities. Its pictures are etched views of ruins, the Vesuvius landscape, Neapolitan streets and the bay, drawn in soft grey tones with small figures set into the scene. A designer might take from them the loose, atmospheric way the etchings use open sky, light wash and tiny figures to suggest distance and place.
