Beautiful large panoramic view taken from Mont Righi in the orig.
handcoloured edition + the extra booklet of 32 p. with descriptive notices.
So complete hardly ever found on the market. No mention in the Swiss
Panorama Bibliography. The SAC catalogue with a small notice on p. 244
of a lithographic panorama by Keller around 1850, this has nothing to do
with the present copy. The present view is engraved (and not lithographed)
and must be around the same date as the mentioned ‘Rundpanorama by
Pfyffer’ ca. 1820. Also the catalogue of publications by Leigh and Son
on the inside cover lists Ebel’s Atlas through Switzerland, which was
published in 1818, -19 & -20. This panorama particulary fine in its orig.
cover and with the orig. booklet. SLB Fasc. IIc : Panoramen der Schweiz
