Reconnaissance au Maroc, 1883-1884 : ouvrage illustré de 4 photogravures et 101 dessins d'après les croquis de l'auteur

Foucauld, Charles de, 1858-1916 · 1888 · Paris : Challamel et cie · 20 pictures

A travel account by Charles de Foucauld, published in Paris by Challamel in 1888, recording his 1883-1884 reconnaissance through Morocco. The pictures are pen-and-ink landscape sketches of valleys, mountain ridges and village edges, drawn in loose hatched line with sparse shading. A designer might take from them the economical hatching of rock and terraced slopes, and the way a few clustered trees and low houses anchor a broad panorama.
