Voyage en Italie, en 60 pièces, dessiné sur les lieux
A set of sixty lithographic views of Italian landscapes, drawn on the spot by Jules Coignet and published in Paris around 1825 by Decrouan. The plates are printed sideways on the page and show mountain valleys, ruined towers, and small groups of travellers and peasants in a soft grey tonal wash. A designer might take from them the atmospheric layering of distant hills, haze, and pale sky used in early romantic landscape prints.
