Versuch einer Beschreibung historischer und natürlicher Merkwürdigkeiten der Landschaft Basel: Klein Hüningen
Versuch einer Beschreibung is a Basel regional antiquarian and natural-history description from 1751, compiled by Daniel Bruckner with illustrations by Emanuel Büchel and text reworked by Thurneysen and Chovin for local readers. Its pictures are small black-line woodcut headpieces and vignettes of garlands, scrolled cartouches, fruit urns and peasant scenes, offering a designer compact decorative borders, flourishes and ornamental frames for historical or rustic motifs.
