1836 Switzerland ART Swiss Castles Cathedrals Geneva 100+ ART PLATES Beattie 2v

William Beattie’s illustrated geography books were some of the most popular in the 19^th-century. Books such as ‘Scotland’ and ‘Switzerland’ describe iconic and beautiful locations from each country with stunning, full-page steel engravings. This 1836 printing of Beattie’s “Switzerland” is considerably valuable much in part to the illustrations. The engravings in this work depict mountain villages, waterfalls, castles, city views (such as Geneva), cathedrals, and much more!
