Playfair, R. Lambert (Robert Lambert), Sir, 1828-1899 · 1877 · London : C. Kegan Paul · 19 pictures

A travel account by Sir Robert Lambert Playfair, published in London by C. Kegan Paul in 1877, retracing James Bruce's 18th-century journeys through Algeria and Tunisia and reproducing his original drawings as facsimiles. The plates are pen-and-ink or engraved views of Roman ruins, aqueducts and triumphal arches set in open landscape, with figures and trees, useful to a designer for classical architectural motifs and ruin-scene compositions.
