Description:
- Engraving by Clarens (Vaud) in Switzerland It is a small village, close to Lake Geneva, in the canton of Vaud, in Switzerland.
- All the titles and signatures are outside the plate. The Draughtsman is unknown.
- On the upper margin it has the legend "Switzerland - Suisse".
- On the lower margin it reads "Clarens (Vaud)".
- In the upper right-hand corner it is printed with the number "52", which suggests that the Engraving is the number 52 of a series.
- In the lower right corner, the Engraver signs only as Rouargue, so it belongs to one of the two Rouargue brothers. In our opinion, the author of the engraving plate is most probably Adolphe Rouargue (1810 - 1870)
- Etching on steel plate, although a different technique could have been used.
- Made in black monochrome tone.
- It is probably an engraving belonging to a book.
