[DESTINATION] = {argument name="city name" default="[CITY NAME]"} Create a charming vertical 4:5 mid-century travel picture-book illustration of [DESTINATION], inspired by playful 1950s–60s European city books. Depict the city as an affectionate, imperfect travel memory—not a map, postcard, architectural rendering, landmark collage, or cinematic panorama. Include: • 1 distinctive primary landmark • 1 smaller secondary landmark • 1 distant/partially hidden local feature • 1 recognizable local vehicle • 3–5 subtle everyday city details • 5–6 ordinary people doing simple local activities Compress these naturally into one imaginary street, plaza, park, or waterfront. Keep the primary landmark slightly off-center, with open foreground, shallow theatrical depth, gentle curves, and generous museum-white negative space. The city should be recognizable without feeling geographically accurate. STYLE: Hand-drawn picture-book illustration with loose charcoal/navy ink, trembling contours, crooked architecture, uneven proportions, sparse windows, simplified silhouettes, occasional double strokes, and minimal detail.
