Der Plauische Grund bei Dresden : mit Hinsicht auf Naturgeschichte und schöne Gartenkunst
Der Plauische Grund bei Dresden is a 1799 German guidebook by Wilhelm Gottlieb Becker and Johann Adolph Darnstedt, published in Nürnberg, that treats the Plauen valley near Dresden for readers interested in natural history and garden art. Its engravings are rendered in tonal line work showing wooded valley slopes, rocky outcrops, winding paths and small figures on the ground, offering a designer a model for layering foliage masses and receding distance in a landscape composition.
