Reise durch das Berner Oberland nach Unterwalden : für die Jugend beschrieben ; mit Kupfern
Reise durch das Berner Oberland nach Unterwalden is an 1821 German-language travel book for young readers, written by Friedrich Meisner and published in Switzerland by J.J. Burgdorfer, with copperplate engravings by Gabriel Lory and others. The first picture shows a line of travellers crossing a wooden footbridge over a rocky stream beneath wooded slopes and a peaked mountain, a view a designer could use for alpine landscape compositions. The second shows a dramatic rock face above a gorge with a stone arch and figures at the water's edge, while the third is a dark interior scene of a figure beside a stone tomb, useful for moody, high-contrast engraved effects.
