Flemish markets, Ardennes villages and the shrimpers of the Belgian coast fill prints by Amédée Forestier (1854–1930), the Paris-born Anglo-French artist who worked for the Illustrated London News and illustrated travel books as well as historical and archaeological subjects. The Belgian illustrations here are dated 1908. Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp and Liège appear through their marketplaces, almshouses, passages and notable buildings, while dunes and villages around Koksijde and La Panne show the coast. Inns, farm interiors and religious observances bring in everyday life, and castles in the Semois and Lesse valleys take the views inland.
