Beschreibung der Garten-Anlagen zu Schwetzingen

Zeyher, Johann Michael · 1835 · 10 pictures

Johann Michael Zeyher's 1835 guidebook to the garden grounds at Schwetzingen, published in German for visitors touring the estate. Its engravings are rotated sideways on the page and show formal garden buildings set among dense trees, with pavilions, columns and open lawns. A designer could take from them the picturesque early nineteenth-century garden vocabulary of temples, arbours and clipped woodland paths, rendered in fine line hatching.
