Versuch einer Beschreibung historischer und natürlicher Merkwürdigkeiten der Landschaft Basel: Biel-Bencken, Bottmingen, Binningen und Holee
A 1749 German antiquarian description of the Basel region's historical and natural sights, by Daniel Bruckner with editing by Emanuel Thurneysen and Jacques Anthony Chovin, illustrated by Emanuel Büchel and held by Heidelberg University Library. The four pictures are small woodcut-style vignettes: ornamental cartouches with scrollwork, foliage and urn motifs, a rustic scene of figures dancing beneath a flowering arch, and a wreath-like frame of grapes and wheat. A designer could draw on their dense baroque scrollwork and botanical framing for borders, headers and tailpieces.
