L'Album; giornale letterario e di belle arti
L'Album was an Italian literary and fine arts periodical printed in Rome in 1834 by the Tipografia delle Belle Arti, aimed at a general educated readership. Its pictures are small wood-engraved vignettes: a preacher addressing a crowd in a medieval square, a ceremony beside a waterfront with flags and garlands, a harbour town tower above boats, and a squat seaside fort on rocks, all in soft shaded line that suggests a quiet reportage style a designer could borrow for vintage editorial layouts.
