From Baron Taylor's Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l'ancienne France, vol. 2. A painter of Romantic landscapes, Bonington spent much of his short life in France and was one of the few English artists to contribute to the Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l'ancienne France. He made this lithograph, depicting a castle in the region of Franche-Comté near the eastern border, after one of Baron Taylor’s own drawings. The printer, Engelmann, developed a special wash technique that allowed him to reproduce Bonington’s subtle tonal effects, such as the fog wreathing the ruins.

prints
Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use the simple term "prints." With regard to photographs, prefer "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."

architecture
Structures or parts of structures that are the result of conscious construction, are of practical use, are relatively stable and permanent, and are of a size and scale appropriate for--but not limited to--habitable buildings. Works of architecture are manifestations of the built environment that is typically classified as fine art, meaning it is generally considered to have aesthetic value, was designed by an architect (whether or not his or her name is known), and constructed with skilled labor. For the art or science of designing and building structures, use "architecture (discipline)."
