Die Reisenden für Länder- und Völkerkunde: Mit einem Kupfer

Cunradi, Johann Gottlieb [Hrsg.], Papst, Johann Georg Friedrich [Hrsg.], Felßeckerische Buchhandlung [Hrsg.] · 1791 · 1 picture

A German travel and ethnography anthology from 1791, edited by Cunradi and Papst and issued by the Felßecker bookshop, with a single copper-plate engraving. The plate shows a sectional view of a large oval wooden structure with interior ribs and a gangway, captioned in German and labelled 'Nach dem Engl. Jugo Jones und Webb' (after Inigo Jones and Webb); it is a plan-like architectural diagram printed in fine, even hatching that a designer could use as a reference for dense linework and engraved architectural detail.
