Voyage en Italie, par J. Isaby, en 1822 : trente dessins
A lithographed album of thirty views from Jean-Baptiste Isabey's 1822 journey through Italy, published by the artist himself in Paris in 1823 for a collector's audience. The pictures are grey tonal lithographs of Italian towns, ruins, and rocky landscapes, many printed sideways on the page, with figures placed small against architecture. A designer might borrow their soft wash-like shading and the way tiny figures give scale to large monuments and ruins.
