The Alhambra and the Kremlin : the south and north of Europe
A travel account by Samuel Irenaeus Prime, published in New York by Anson D.F. Randolph in 1873, comparing architecture and scenery across southern and northern Europe. The pictures are black-and-white wood engravings of city views and fortified buildings, several printed sideways on the page. A designer might take from them the dense hatched line work used to render masonry, foliage and skylines.
