Reise von Bern über die Gemmi und den Simplon, nach den Borromäischen Inseln : für die Jugend beschrieben

Meisner, Friedrich, Lory, Gabriel, Burgdorfer, Daniel · 1825 · J.J. Burgdorfer · 4 pictures

A travel account from 1825 by Friedrich Meisner, written for young readers, describing a journey from Bern over the Gemmi and Simplon passes to the Borromean Islands, published in Switzerland by J.J. Burgdorfer. The engravings show Alpine gorges, a stone bridge over a ravine, and a lakeside palace with boats, drawn in fine line with heavy shadow that a designer could borrow for rugged landscape or antique travel imagery.
