"Paris, Line by Line" by Robinson

Design*Sponge recently introduced me to the work of Robinson, a German illustrator first known for the success of the travel book New York, Line by Line, which he then followed with a sequel, Paris, Line by Line. Robinson uses line drawing, a style where monochromatic lines are drawn upon a plain background, foregoing principles of shading and color. The result may seem stark and basic, but I find that it actually lends itself to the intricacies of Parisian architecture with its vast boulevards, Haussmannian buildings and Belle Epoque details.
