Paris guide
A Paris guide published in 1867 by Librairie internationale with imprints in Brussels, Leipzig and Livourne, a pocket-style city handbook for travellers and readers of French. The first picture is a plan of the Père Lachaise cemetery with numbered tombs and paths, the second a close-up of a curving path on an old survey sheet, and the third an engraved view of the Val-de-Grâce church dome and facade with small figures at its railings. Designers can take from them the clarity of labelled plans and the crisp architectural detail of the engraving.
