Versuch einer Beschreibung historischer und natürlicher Merkwürdigkeiten der Landschaft Basel: Prattelen
Versuch einer Beschreibung historischer und natürlicher Merkwürdigkeiten der Landschaft Basel is a 1749 German-language antiquarian and natural-history description of the Basel region, written by Daniel Bruckner and edited by Emanuel Thurneysen and Jacques Anthony Chovin, with engravings by Emanuel Büchel. The pictures are small woodcut-style vignettes and headpieces: rococo scrollwork cartouches framing blank panels, a cherub holding an open book, a vase of flowers, and a group of children dancing under foliage, with fruit, grain and vine motifs a designer could borrow for decorative borders and ornament.
