Liber Fluviorum; or, River Scenery of France. Depicted in sixty-one line engravings from drawings by J. M. W. Turner ... With descriptive letter-press by Leitch Ritchie; and a biographical sketch by Alaric A. Watts
A topographical picture book of 1857, published in London by H. G. Bohn, gathering sixty-one steel line engravings after J. M. W. Turner's drawings of the Seine and Loire, with text by Leitch Ritchie for British armchair travellers. The plates are pale, finely hatched river views with bridges, quays, towers and boats set against wide luminous skies, useful for atmospheric backgrounds and small crowd and shipping vignettes.
