Beschrijving
25 x 29 cm. Cloth. With b/w illustrations. – Before the invention of photography, civil engineers employed topographic artists to record the progression of their projects. Termed ‘Record Pictures’, these illustrations followed the tradition of the Dutch topographical landscapes of the seventeenth century, combining the qualities of detail and clarity with the objectivity of technical drawings. As such, Record Pictures had a scientific rather than an artistic purpose. – New copy
