About the Work

This charming view depicts Vevey on Lake Geneva bathed in the idyllic light of the 19th century – drawn by the prolific view-master Ludwig Rohbock and finely engraved by J. Riegel. The fresh hand-colouring brings the sails, vineyards and the rural foreground with farmer and ox vividly to life. Vevey belongs to the world-famous Swiss Riviera, making this print a decorative piece with clear collector appeal.

Provenance

An original hand-coloured steel engraving of Vevey on Lake Geneva, after Ludwig Rohbock and engraved by J. Riegel, from the heyday of the topographical Swiss view in the mid-19th century. The sheet shows a peaceful lakeside scene with boats and rural life and is presented in a classic gilt frame with a double mount: a ready-to-hang piece of Swiss Riviera history.
