Businger, Joseph Maria, 1764-1836, author, Crousaz, Henry de, translator, Engelmann, G. (Godefroy), 1788-1839, lithographer · 1821 · Lucerne : X. Meyer · 1 picture

A lithographed plate from an 1821 Lucerne publication by Joseph Maria Businger, translated by Henry de Crousaz and printed by G. Engelmann for the publisher X. Meyer, describing the painted gallery of the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne with Swiss historical scenes. The plate is rotated sideways on the page and shows a street view of the bridge with a tall tower, a row of onlookers, and a horse-drawn carriage in the foreground, rendered in fine etched line with light shading that a designer could use for period architectural or carriage detail.
