Historische und Moralische Erklärungen der Bilder und Gemählde auf der Kapell-Brücke der Stadt Lucern
A 1775 German-language explanatory book by Joseph Anton Felix von Balthasar, published in Lucerne, describing the painted historical and moral scenes on the Chapel Bridge there. The single plate shows an armed figure with a halberd standing on a plinth, with a seated child and a companion below, drawn as a fine etching with loose foliage at the sides; a designer could take its clear figure grouping and sparse, hatched linework as a model for narrative vignettes.
