Scope:
Comprising twenty-nine lithographs, Picturesque Architecture in Paris, Ghent, Antwerp, Rouen, etc. is not only one of the finest topographical albums ever produced but is also a landmark in the development of color printmaking (Michael Twyman, 1970, p. 211). Its delicate printing and subtle use of chromolithography testify to the artist's close collaboration with the album's printer, Charles Hullmandel, to whom the album is dedicated in acknowledgment of the printer's many innovations in the technique of lithographic printing.
