Feuilles d'album croquis de Suisse et d'Italie 1889

"Feuilles d'Album Croquis" is a book of sketches by Belgian artist Hector van Doorslaer, published in Brussels in 1889. The book contains 12 photographs of sketches from Switzerland and Italy, accompanied by a foreword by P. de Hauleville, and a preface by A. Lefevre. This compact, yet richly detailed, publication is a testament to van Doorslaer's artistic exploration of the landscapes of Europe. The title "Feuilles d'Album" refers to the loose, sketch-like quality of the images, suggesting a personal, intimate glimpse into van Doorslaer's artistic process.
