Tunis et ses environs : texte et dessins d'après nature

Lallemand, Charles, 1846- · 1890 · Paris : Maison Quantin · 29 pictures

A French illustrated guide to Tunis and its surroundings, text and drawings made from life by Charles Lallemand, published in Paris by Maison Quantin in 1890. The pictures are soft, pale watercolours of street life in Tunisian towns: figures in white and red robes gathered in doorways, on benches and in open squares, with a minaret and whitewashed walls behind them. A designer could take their muted palette of cream, sky blue and rust, and their loose, economical figure drawing.
