L'@Étude Du Paysage: Collection De Modèles Élémentaires Et Gradués Formant un Cours Complet Autographié D'Après Nature
Alexandre Calame's Étude du Paysage is an 1850 French lithographed drawing course, issued as graded models for students learning landscape from nature. The four pictures are crayon-style lithographs of thatched cottages, trees, a rough stone wall and a wooden gate, drawn with soft tonal hatching and loose foliage. A designer could take from them the handling of dense foliage against pale built forms and the texture of rural architecture.
