Opis: VINCENC MORSTADT PRAHA 1830 MINIATURNI POHLEDY 1970 NAKLADATELSTVI PRESSFOTO PRAHA , 12 szt + wielojęzyczny opis stan db+ (podniszczona okładka - etui) ISBN Twelve miniature views of Prague, drawn and etched by Vincent Morstadt and published by V. A. Ryba in 1830 in an album entitled Ansichten von Prag, depict the city and its streets at the dawn of an age imbued with the joyful mood of national revival. This delightful set of coloured engravings comprises unwonted views of the beautiful spots that must in those days have aroused the admiration of visitors to Prague. The miniature format caused the artist to employ the most economical graphic style and a condensed presentation of his subjects. Nevertheless, the medium most aptly presents the different motifs, while expressing the charm of the place and age that makes Morstadt's work so delightful. With their patriotic spirit and artistic quality these tiny drawings constitute a remarkable collection, the work of a non-professional engraver who was captivated by the atmosphere and beauty of the city.
