Lettres sur l'Italie : faisant suite aux Lettres sur la Morée, l'Hellespont et Constantinople
A. L. Castellan's Lettres sur l'Italie, published in Paris by Nepveu in 1819, is an artist-traveller's account of Italian sites and antiquities for French readers of picturesque travel. The numbered plates are fine outline etchings of villas, terraces, convents and hill towns set among pines and scrub, with small figures on roads; useful for architectural silhouettes, foliage textures and hatched skies.
