Beschryving ...van de ... Krooningstad Aken : mitsgaders van alle desselfs Fonteinen, en minerale Wateren en Baden...

1727 · by Joh. du Vivie · 25 pictures

A Dutch 1727 description of the coronation city of Aachen and its fountains, mineral waters and baths, published by Joh. du Vivie and held by ETH-Bibliothek. The engraved plates show bath houses, a fountain pavilion and a tree-lined promenade, all drawn in plan-like elevation with rotated labels. A designer might take from them the clean, schematic architectural engraving style, with its hatched shadows and banner-style cartouches for titles.
