The chateaux of the Loire : how to visit them rapidly and economically by railway, motor car or bicycle

Monmarché, Marcel, 1872-1945 · 1909 · Paris : Hachette · 76 pictures

An English-language Hachette travel guide of 1909, written by Marcel Monmarché in Paris for foreign tourists touring the Loire châteaux by railway, motor car or bicycle. The plates mix small wood-engraved advertisement views of hotels and château facades with line-engraved town plans showing hatched rivers, labelled boulevards and rail lines, useful for period map textures, tiny architectural vignettes and boxed advertising layouts.
