An 1835 Paris travel album published by Audot fils, issued as two parts covering the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily with Malta, with views engraved after drawings by Haudebourt-Lescot and others, aimed at armchair travellers and collectors of topographical prints. The plates show street scenes, ruined archways, hillside towns and figures in regional dress, drawn in fine grey line engraving with the sheets printed sideways on the page. A designer could take from them the tonal layering of engraved shading, the architectural framing of Mediterranean streets, and the placement of small figures for scale.
