Die Schweiz in ihren klassischen Stellen und Hauptorten

Zschokke, Heinrich · 1858 · Gebrüder Scheitlin · 59 pictures

Die Schweiz in ihren klassischen Stellen und Hauptorten is an 1858 German-language guidebook by Heinrich Zschokke, published by Gebrüder Scheitlin, illustrating Switzerland's famous sites and main towns for travellers and readers of the period. Its steel-engraved plates are printed on single tipped-in leaves, showing mountain valleys, lakeside villages, and castles rendered in fine grey tonal hatching, many sideways on the page, which suggests a model for landscape scenes with layered distant ranges and small figures on paths.
