Gärtner’s works are numerous, and rank with the best products of paintings of buildings.” – Contrary to the inscription here on his larger sized steel engraving of the sujet Barber designates Heinrich Hintze (1800 Berlin – before 1862) as draughtsman, what may be, however, an error of Barber’s for “To the steel engravings for S.
