Meine Reise um den Genfer See
A German travel book of 1844, published by C. H. Reclam sen., describing a journey around Lake Geneva, with the author's name given as Napoléon Roussel. The engravings are small vignettes: a woman in a bonnet and a man with a walking stick framed by foliage, a lakeside view with a steep cliff, and crowded genre scenes of figures in interiors and at a table, several printed sideways. A designer could take from them the compact vignette format of mid-century travel writing, with figures set against a cropped landscape edge.
