Memorabilia Tigurina, oder Merkwürdigkeiten der Stadt und Landschaft Zürich

Bluntschli, Johann Heinrich · 1742 · bey Heidegger und Companie · 40 pictures

Memorabilia Tigurina, published in 1742 in Zürich by Johann Heinrich Bluntschli, is a historical guide to the city and surrounding canton, written for readers interested in local notable sights. Its engraved plates are rotated on the page and show street views and building facades with dense window rows, churches, and rooftops drawn in fine parallel hatching, useful to a designer seeking early eighteenth-century European townscape linework and architectural detail.
