Wintter, Joseph Georg (1751 Munich 1789). Country Palace and Barn + Tent together with tiny Accessories, each enclosed, in between street with carriage. Etching. Monogrammed: JG: W: inv fec . 6.7 x 8.5 cm.

Niemeyer 13, II. – From Nagler 21? – From the comprehensive 44-sheet Augsburg edition on buff paper Schwerdt III, 190, a ( “Rare” ) of earliest 1821. The wonderful quality of its impressions discloses the small editions and caused Schwerdt, not knowing the chronological factor, to assume proofs before the letter in many cases. But already on occasion of the otherwise not proven 137-sheet edition Weigel 21336 stated in 1857: “Most sheets very rare”.

His “etchings are fine and stand in their execution between those by Hollar and Riedinger. In 1784 W. became electoral Court and Hunting Engraver” (Nagler in vol. III, no. 68, of his Dictionary of Monogramists of 1863 and on his part additionally referring to the rarity of these fine plates). – Still with plate dirt. – On buff, wide-margined paper. Its outer margin somewhat foxstippled on two sides, on the back a little more.
