The châteaux of Touraine
A 1906 travel and architectural history of the Loire valley châteaux by Maria Hornor Lansdale, published by the Century Co. in New York for American readers, with illustrations by Jules Guérin. The plates are halftone photographs of castle exteriors — steep slate roofs, dormers, corner turrets, moats and terraced gardens — usable as silhouettes, grey-toned backdrops, or architectural detail references.
