Versuch einer Beschreibung historischer und natürlicher Merkwürdigkeiten der Landschaft Basel
Versuch einer Beschreibung historischer und natürlicher Merkwürdigkeiten der Landschaft Basel is a 1748 Swiss antiquarian and natural-history survey of the Basel region, written by Daniel Bruckner and illustrated by Emanuel Büchel, with later editing by Thurneysen and Chovin, held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments, with flourishing acanthus scrolls, urns of flowers and fruit, cherubs and cartouches, which a designer could adapt as decorative headpieces, dividers or framing devices for period-style print work.
