About This Book

A compact sketchbook that pairs 24 pen-and-ink drawings with brief descriptive notes, recording the architecture, canals, bridges, churches, island viewpoints, and waterfront activities of a lagoon city. Each plate concentrates on a single view or motif—marketboats, palaces, piazzas, campaniles, and distant Lido vistas—emphasizing light, composition, and atmosphere. Entries read as visual itineraries and impressionistic observations rather than a continuous narrative, inviting close looking and quiet reflection.
