L'Album; giornale letterario e di belle arti
L'Album was an Italian-language literary and fine arts periodical printed in Rome in 1834 by the Tipografia delle Belle Arti, aimed at educated readers interested in letters and art. Its wood engravings include a crowded theatre-box scene, a bust-length portrait of an older man in a decorative oval-style frame, a courtyard gathering of figures in eastern dress beneath arches, and a profile bust of a powdered-wig man, all printed as small text-page illustrations that a designer might use for period costume, portrait framing, and tightly cropped vignette layouts.
