"Zweyter Koenigl. Lust Bronnen"
Copper etching by Daniel Hertz (1698-1767)
After the drawing by Paul Decker (1677-1713)
Publisher Jeremias Wolff
Augsburg, 1711
Decker's architectural drawings are among the finest of proposals for royal architecture. He planned a major work: "Fürstlicher Baumeister / Oder Architectura Civilis, Wie Grosser Fürsten und Herren Paläste / mit ihren Höfen / Grotten / Orangerien/ und anderen dazu gehörigen Gebäuden füglich anzulegen und nach heutiger Art auszuzieren " But this work, planned to contain 5 volumes, ended up with only three.
Printed and published in Augsburg, 1711
This amazing fountain shows Decker's artistic architectural approach.
Margins with some minor traces of age and use.
