Dziembowski, A. von, publisher, Stamm, Johann Gottlob Samuel, 1767-1817, illustrator, Klengel, Johann Christian, 1751-1824, illustrator, Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection (Library of Congress) · 1806 · Dresden, A. v. Dziembowski, [1806?] · 15 pictures

An early lithographic album published in Dresden around 1806 by A. von Dziembowski, with plates drawn by Johann Gottlob Samuel Stamm and Johann Christian Klengel for an audience of printmakers and artists in Saxony. The plates are pen-like tonal landscapes of trees, country bridges, rocky ravines and open fields, showing how loose lithographic crayon work can build soft shadow and foliage without hard outlines, a useful model for sketchy landscape illustration.

Lithography, German
