Tableaux algeriens is an 1888 Paris illustrated travel book by the painter Gustave Guillaumet, with text by Eugene Mouton, published by E. Plon, Nourrit et Cie and presented to a French readership. Its plates are etchings and related prints of Algerian scenes: crowds of robed figures on open ground, riders and camel-like processions, and figures gathered on rocky paths under trees. A designer might take from them the tight tonal hatching and loose group compositions used to suggest heat, dust and dense human movement.
