Histoire pittoresque des villes les plus remarquables de l'Italie, la Suisse, l'Allemagne, la Russie, la Turquie, la Grèce, l'Asie, l'Afrique et l'Amérique
A French illustrated geography of notable cities across Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Russia, Turkey, Greece, Asia, Africa and the Americas, compiled by the civil engineer Hippolyte Fournier and published in 1849 for general readers. The 105 wood-engraved plates give panoramic skylines, harbours, domed and minareted quarters, palace courtyards and street groups, useful for city silhouettes, architectural backdrops and small figure vignettes.
