Stuttgart – Palace Place. Wood engraving by August Heinrich Ferdinand Tegetmeyer (1844 Leipsic 1912) after a photograph by Friedrich Brandseph. (1886.) 13.2 x 20 cm. – Painterly sheet with fine view of the heights, too.

“ If temporally and financially it is not worthwhile to send special reporters … but on the other hand the effort prevails to ‘illustrate all remarkable events by pictorial representation’, so (more and more it has to be resorted to copies) which are available in increasing numbers: photographs. Not only their more effortless availability, also the changed taste of the audience helped photography to growing importance in xylography …

Photography  as  new  invention

becomes that interesting for the general audience that it puts its stamp on other traditional illustration techniques, too ”
