Woodcut Illustrations — Trousset Landscapes

Trained on 97 illustrations from Nouveau dictionnaire encyclopédique universel illustré, A.K.A. the Trousset encyclopedia. Included were landscapes, cityscapes, and a handful of other scenes illustrated in the same style.

FLUX.1 [dev] has decent performance with “woodcut illustration” already, but sometimes it uses mid-tones instead of proper black & white shading.

This LoRA is kinda scuffed but demonstrates some progress in influencing that style.

Its effect may be more visible on something like Dedistilled-Mix or Fusion than stock FLUX.1 [dev]. It favors shading with fine lines over solid blocks of black and its 19th-century background may influence the architecture.

Its performance at smaller resolutions can be much worse than normal for FLUX.1, probably because it was trained exclusively on 1+ megapixel images.

Training captions began with the phrase “woodcut illustration.”

Also available on 🤗Hugging Face along with some more information about the training. Thanks go to Old Book Illustrations for collecting and labeling the images! (If you want to train on images like these, please use the previously assembled dataset instead of hammering the OBI server.)
