L'Album; giornale letterario e di belle arti
L'Album was a literary and fine arts periodical printed in Rome in 1834 by the Tipografia delle Belle Arti for an educated Italian readership interested in letters and art. Its pages mix engraved views of Roman places and lakes with scenes of public ceremony, the prints rendered in fine line and simple hatching. A designer could draw on their restrained, documentary tone for period landscape vignettes, with clean horizon lines, small framed plates and compact figures set against open sky.
