EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled 'View of the city of Zurich, bridge over the River Limmat and Lake Zurich, Switzerland, early 19th century', offers a captivating glimpse into the past of one of Europe's most beautiful cities. The image, created by Migliavacca after Giulio Ferrario, is taken from Ferrario's comprehensive work 'Il Costume Antico e Moderno' published in Florence in 1837. The engraving depicts Zurich as it appeared in the early 1800s, with the iconic bridge crossing the River Limmat and the shores of Lake Zurich in the background. The city's medieval architecture is evident, with its red-roofed houses and towering church spires. The tranquil waters of the lake reflect the surrounding landscape, adding to the serene atmosphere of the scene. The Alps, with their snow-capped peaks, dominate the horizon, reminding us of Zurich's proximity to some of the world's most majestic mountains. In the foreground, a group of people can be seen, dressed in the fashion of the time, adding a sense of human scale to the image. This historical illustration provides a fascinating insight into the appearance of Zurich during the 19th century, a time when the city was undergoing significant changes as it transitioned from a medieval town to a modern European metropolis. The intricate detail and beautiful colouring of the engraving make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical images or those with an interest in European history, fashion, or architecture.
