Beautiful example of bridge building around 1800 The diverse activities of Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking, including bridge, road and hydraulic construction, still clearly bear the characteristics of the end of the 18th century. At the same time, with his construction work based on contemporary professional literature and his own research, Wiebeking can be seen as one of the first representatives of modern civil engineering.
This engraving from around the year 1800 is in reasonable condition. Beautifully authentically hand-coloured. Contains a number of tears on the folds, and is slightly battered around the outer edge. Nevertheless, a very beautiful object if beautifully framed. Photos are part of the description. Will be shipped insured.
