Description

Copper engraving with original (body) colour. A vue d'optique.

Published: "A Paris chez Jacques Chereau rue St Jacques au dessus de la Fontaine St Severin aux 2 colonnes n° 257." No date - c. 1760+

Full title: Façade de l'Eglise de St. Laurent à Nuremberg, avec l'Ecole apartenant à l'Eglise et l'Ecole des Pauvres Enfans.

Image size: 11 7/8 x 16" - 300 x 407mm.

In fair to good condition: some surface dirt, various creases original to printing. Laid (pasted) at each corner to a card support.

A prospect of the western front of the church of St Lawrence in the city of Nuremberg in southern Germany. Built in the 15th century, it is one of the most prominent churches of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria. The west facade is richly decorated, dominated by the twin towers, a sharp towering portal doorway and an indented rose window 9 metres in diameter. The church was badly damaged during the Second World War and later restored. 

Aside from the church itself, there are some delightful incidental details to be seen in the foreground, such as the stalls set up to sell their wares to the public.
