Cascade entre Lausanne
et Vevay (Vevey)

View of a Waterfall between Lausanne and Vevey. At the time this was part of the Canton de Berne and is so indicated below the title.

Copperplate Engraving from Baron Zurlauben's topography published around 1780.

Dessine par Chatelet, grave par Fossard - The letters A.P.D.R. appear on the print, which means it was engraved "avec privilège du roi" - or licensed by the king - this is an annotation which one sees only on prints published before the French revolution. It indicated the print had been approved by the French censures.

Dimensions: Sheet including margins measures around 12.5 X 9.5 inches (32 X 24 cm). Image size around 8.65 x 6 inches (22 x 16 cm)

Condition: This is one half of an original folio sheet which had two separate copperplate images on it.

Very good. Cut to edge of platemark at top.
