The Taj Mahal, Sanchi, Hampi and Bamiyan share these pages with French castles and churches, a measure of how widely Émile Thérond (1821–1883) ranged in the illustrated books of the nineteenth century. He also took in Jerusalem, Rome, the Caucasus and other Asian travel subjects, setting great monuments beside smaller studies of streets, bridges, interiors and contemporary inhabitants. Thérond worked as a draughtsman, engraver and lithographer, and the plate credits show where his designs were reproduced by other hands. Some impressions were issued after his death, among them illustrations for Reclus's geographical publications.
