Handbuch für Reisende durch die Schweiz: mit einem Anh., von den Merkwürdigkeiten der im Handbuche vorkommenden Ortschaften
A German-language travel handbook for tourists in Switzerland, written by Heinrich Heidegger and published in 1789, with a companion section on notable sights of the towns it describes. The pictures are a small woodcut-style vignette of two classical figures seated on a cloud beside a caduceus, and a hand-coloured map of Switzerland with its regions tinted in green, yellow, pink and blue, with the mountains shaded in relief. A designer could take from the map its coloured regional blocks and hatched relief shading, and from the vignette its crisp woodcut figure work.
