Itinéraire pittoresque, au nord de l'Angleterre : contenant ... vues des lacs, des montagnes, des châteaux, etc. des comtés de Westmorland, Cumberland, Durham et Northumberland ...

Gérard, J.F · 1836 · Fisher, son, & Co. · 42 pictures

A French-language picturesque travel album of northern England, compiled by J.F. Gérard and published by Fisher, Son, & Co. in 1836 for armchair travellers and collectors of topographical views. Its steel-engraved plates show the lakes, mountains, castles and ruins of Westmorland, Cumberland, Durham and Northumberland, rendered in soft grey tonal shading with small figures placed in the foreground for scale. A designer might take its atmospheric landscape compositions, layered mountain ridges and dramatic weather as models for romantic scenic imagery.
