Aus der ersten Abhandlung von der Geographia Subterranea

Peithner von Lichtenfels, Johann Taddäus Anton, Johann Taddäus Anton, Peithner von Lichtenfels · 1770 · Clauser · 7 pictures

A German treatise on subterranean geography by Johann Taddäus Anton Peithner von Lichtenfels, printed by Clauser in 1770 and drawn from an iron-industry library collection, apparently aimed at mining scholars and engineers. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut-style ornaments, rococo cartouches and vignettes, plus one scene of a miner in a rocky landscape beside a mine entrance, which suggests a designer could borrow the decorative headpieces and the scenic mining motif.
