Collection des tableaux en gouache et des dessins de Salomon Gessner
A set of engraved landscape plates published in Zurich in 1811 from the Gessner bookshop, after gouache paintings and drawings by Salomon Gessner and engraved by Carl Wilhelm Kolbe, for a French-reading audience. The pictures are rotated pastoral scenes of woodland, rocks, streams and figures under trees, with shaded tonal engraving that a designer could draw on for classical bucolic compositions and soft, layered foliage.
