Johann Wilhelm Bauren Underschidliche Prospecten, Welche Er In Dennen Landen Italiae, Und Dan Auf Seiner Heimreis, Friaul Karnten Steir ff, Nach Dem Leben Gezeichnet
A 1681 set of engraved city and garden views by Johann Wilhelm Baur, drawn from life during his travels through Italy and on his journey home through Friuli, Carinthia and Styria, with plates engraved after Melchior Küsel. The plates show formal Italian gardens with fountains, terraces and balustrades, plus Naples harbour scenes with ships, promenading figures and palazzo facades, all rendered in fine etched line with cross-hatched shadows that suggest clean, orderly architectural layouts.
