Pub Note:
Originally a nine sheet oblique bird's eye view of north-central Switzerland looking south from Lake Zurich. See index map, List No. 7924.002. Although index shows three sheets across, they have been mounted together so that there is functionally only one sheet across and three down. Each map has lengthy list of place names numbered to match locations on the map. Friedrich Wilhelm Delkeskamp was a noted Frankfurt painter who completed at least 12 panoramas and a wide variety of other works. He was noted for plastic-realistic and scientifically accurate representations. He was a publisher and traveled during most summers gathering materials for his illustrations. He was also noted for his mountaineering in order to gain high perspectives.
