Collection des desseins des figures colossales & des groupes qui ont été faits de neige dans plusieurs ruës & dans plusieurs cours de maisons de la ville d'Anvers, le mois de janvier 1772
A 1773 Antwerp collection of engravings by Robiano, Cardon, Carstiaenssens and Bruers, published by Carstiaenssens and Bruers, recording colossal figures and groups carved from snow in the city's streets and courtyards in January 1772. The plates show rotated, mostly nude mythological figures on pedestals and against rocky backdrops, with urns, putti and sea creatures, giving a designer a record of dramatic Baroque poses and ornamental framing drawn in fine etched line.
