From 19th-Century Sources
by Jim Harter (ed.)
Artists, designers, and craftspeople will welcome this magnificent assemblage of 19th-century illustrations depicting a wide variety of town and country scenes. Detailed, accurate images of urban areas-66 in all-include a bird's-eye view of London's East End, including the majestic dome of St. Paul's Cathedral; a view of Athens in the time of the Emperor Hadrian; and a skyline view of the French city of Strasbourg, dominated by the towering grandeur of a gothic cathedral. Among the 80 rustic vignettes are a romantic depiction of the Northamptonshire countryside, with Mt. Tom in the distance; bucolic scenes of grazing cattle; vast, brooding Dore like scenes of rugged alpine passes, mountain pastures and much more. This inexpensive volume of copyright-free illustrations is an invaluable source of versatile art ready to enhance a myriad of graphic projects.
