Itinéraire de la ville de Venise et des îles circonvoisines
A guidebook to Venice and its nearby islands, written by Giannantonio Moschini and printed in Venice in 1819 for travellers and readers of the city. Its plates are black-and-white line engravings of Venetian palaces, churches, a bridge and waterfront views, printed sideways on the page. A designer could draw on their crisp hatched architectural linework, dense façade rhythms and tiny figures for scale.
