Joanni Guilielmi Baur's Iconographia of 1671, a German-language set of engraved views of Italian seaports, gardens and palaces, drawn from life by the author and reworked by Melchior Küsel, published for armchair travellers and collectors. The plates show coastal prospects with figures and carriages, rocky mountain landscapes, a statue garden at the Villa Borghese in Rome, and a hunting party in a wooded park, each with German captions beneath; a designer could take their fine parallel hatching, atmospheric wooded distances and staffage figures as models for landscape engraving.
