[Atlas novus Reipublicae Helveticae] : [XX. Mappis compositus]

Walser, Gabriel, Peyer, Heinrich, Rizzi-Zannoni, Giovanni Antonio, Homannsche Erben · 1769 · [Sumtibus Homannianis Heredibus] · 7 pictures

An eighteenth-century atlas of Switzerland, compiled by Gabriel Walser and Heinrich Peyer and issued in 1769 by the Homann heirs in Nuremberg for a learned and mapping-minded readership. Its hand-coloured copperplate maps show cantons, lakes and mountain districts in pale washes of yellow, pink, green and blue with decorative cartouches, and a designer can take from them the period palette, engraved lettering and ornamented title frames.
