HIRSCHFELD, C. C. L.
Neue Briefe über die Schweitz
Kiel, bey dem Verfasser, 1785.
8vo. In contemporary paper-covered boards (original?) with paper-title label to spine. Wear and scratches to extremities, internally very nice and clean. Printed on good paper. (2), 181, (1) pp. + 7 engraved plates numbered I-VII.
First edition of Hirschfeld’s work, printed on good paper, on his travels in Swizerland beautifully illustrated with plates depicting costumes and houses of Switzerland. Christian Cay Lorenz Hirschfeld (1742-1792), a key figure in the Romantic garden movement, was deeply influenced by his time in Switzerland. His stay in Bern (1765-1767) exposed him to the region’s natural beauty and landscapes. Hirschfeld's ideas, shaped by the picturesque Swiss scenery, contributed to the spread of the English landscape garden style across Europe.
