Vue du Village de Clarens

Text Reads: "pres Vevay sur Le Lac de Geneve, cet endroit est celebre dans l'Heloise de Rousseau"

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

Dessine par Brandoin, grave par le Bas- 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.
