About the Item

Title: Engraving of Strasbourg Cathedral, Gothic Masterpiece in Alsace, 1805 This finely detailed hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Strasbourg Cathedral (*Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg*), a Gothic architectural wonder located in Alsace, France. Published in Friedrich Johann Bertuch's *Bilderbuch für Kinder* (Picture Book for Children) in 1805, this piece celebrates one of Europe's most iconic religious monuments. The Strasbourg Cathedral, with its intricate façade and towering spire, was the tallest building in the world for over 200 years. Its design represents the pinnacle of Gothic architecture, blending fine ornamentation with impressive structural engineering. This engraving captures the majestic west façade, adorned with detailed sculptures and a magnificent rose window. The towering spire, intricate flying buttresses, and richly decorated portals reflect the craftsmanship and artistic devotion that went into its construction. Tiny figures in the foreground provide scale, emphasizing the cathedral’s monumental size and spiritual significance. The engraving serves as both an educational and artistic work, exemplifying the goals of Bertuch's *Bilderbuch für Kinder* to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the world's natural and cultural wonders. Condition Report The engraving is in good condition, with only light foxing and minimal age-toning along the edges. The colors are well-preserved, and the details remain sharp. No visible tears or significant damage. Tip on Framing To highlight the beauty of this Gothic masterpiece, choose a frame with subtle ornamentation that complements the intricate architectural details. A neutral mat with UV-protective glass will preserve the engraving’s vibrant colors and protect it from fading.
