[City Name]: [Subtitle / Tagline]: [Main Landmark]: [Secondary Landmarks or Skyline Elements]: [Water / Bridge / River / Harbor Elements]: [Supporting Urban Elements]: [Optional Local Architectural Accent]: [Optional Transportation Element]: [Ink Color Preference]: black / charcoal / sepia / blue-black [Paper Tone Preference]: white / ivory / lightly aged paper Create a vertical architectural engraving illustration of [City Name] in a refined vintage line-art print style, with a separate title area below the illustration. The image should feel like a premium city commemorative print or a refined architectural engraving plate. The main illustration must occupy about 80–85% of the page. Show a grand, open establishing view of [City Name], not a close-up foreground scene. The composition should be spacious, elegant, balanced, and instantly recognizable. Use [Main Landmark] as the dominant visual anchor. Support it with [Secondary Landmarks or Skyline Elements], [Water / Bridge / River / Harbor Elements], and [Supporting Urban Elements]. You may also include [Optional Local Architectural Accent] and [Optional Transportation Element] if they help strengthen the city identity. The cityscape should feel large, atmospheric, and visually impressive, with a clear sense of place. Use highly detailed fine linework, precise architectural outlines, delicate cross-hatching, and light horizontal sky hatching. Buildings should have careful facade detail, elegant line density, and refined engraved texture. Water, bridges, trees, stone, and urban details should be rendered with controlled engraving-style precision. The sky should be open and clean with subtle engraved clouds, not dramatic storm effects. Use a restrained monochrome palette: [Ink Color Preference] linework on a [Paper Tone Preference] background. Avoid heavy decorative borders, large graphic blocks, glossy design effects, or poster-like styling. The foreground should not occupy more than about 10–15% of the image height, and it should not block the city view. Place the title outside the illustration area in a clean lower margin. The lower title area should be centered, elegant, and minimal. Show the title “[City Name]” in refined serif typography, with the subtitle “[Subtitle / Tagline]” below it in smaller size. The title should be clearly readable but must not overpower the illustration. It should feel like the caption of a classic engraved print or a museum print label, not a banner. Overall style: refined vintage architectural engraving, clean monochrome line-art print, elegant city commemorative illustration, detailed cross-hatching, light horizontal sky hatching, open and spacious composition, classic serif typography, separate lower title margin, not a travel poster, not a glossy graphic poster. Negative constraints: no title carved into a wall, bridge, plaque, pedestal, railing, or signboard; no oversized foreground object blocking the view; no thick ornate border; no large black title block; no travel poster style; no watercolor; no oil painting; no cartoon; no 3D render; no fantasy elements; no overly dramatic perspective.
