Messico e Guatemala / di De Larenaudière
Messico e Guatemala is an 1845 Italian travel account by Philippe François de La Renaudière, published in Venice by G. Antonelli, covering Mexico, Guatemala and neighbouring regions for an armchair readership. Its engravings are plain black-and-white line views of ancient ruins and temple facades, set against mountains, tropical plants and small figures, showing carved stone panels, stepped doorways and stone walls that a designer could use for historical or Mesoamerican-themed motifs and architectural framing.
