Collection des vues de Heidelberg, de la vallée du Neckar, de Schwetzingen, de Bade et du Rhin
A collection of lithographic views published in 1825 by Carl von Graimberg, a German-born artist, showing Heidelberg, the Neckar valley, Schwetzingen, Baden and the Rhine, with French and German captions for a bilingual readership. The plates record the Heidelberg Castle ruins and nearby towers as they looked in the early nineteenth century, drawn in fine parallel-hatched tone with small figures for scale. A designer could take the hatched shading, the picturesque ruin compositions and the tree framing as a reference for romantic landscape structure.
