Castles at Saverne, Montrond and Grignan lead a tour of provincial France in prints by Georges Victor Farlet, in issues dated 1881–1884. He was a French engraver working in later nineteenth-century illustrated publishing, also recorded in institutional collections as Georges Farlet. Cathedrals, gateways, market towns and river crossings appear across the country, Alpine lakes and Pyrenean valleys add landscape, and Paris supplies the Palais-Royal and other city scenes. Algeria and Madagascar take the views beyond mainland France.
