Old Touraine; the life and history of the famous chateaux of France
A two-volume travel history of the Loire valley châteaux written by Theodore Andrea Cook and published by Scribner in New York in 1893 for English-speaking readers touring France. Pen drawings and reproduced older engravings show Chenonceaux, Chambord and other houses across water, framed by trees, with fine hatched skies, riverbanks and small staffage figures useful as line-art backgrounds.
