Wanderungen durch die Ruinen der Vergangenheit und die Riesenwerke der Gegenwart : mit 85 Abbildungen
A German illustrated book of travels, published by Spamer in 1854 and written by Louis Thomas, for a general readership interested in ancient ruins and modern engineering. Its pictures are rotated wood engravings showing a stone aqueduct of many arches, a street of arcaded buildings with a fountain, a row of people walking along a bank, and a large domed hall with crowds, so a designer might take its contrast of crumbling antiquity against industrial-age structures.
