Views of Antigua
Ludwig Stobwasser, c.1830

Very fine suite of four hand-colored aquatint views of Antigua, issued to promote the evangelical work of the Moravian Church. The views depict lush landscapes surrounding the mission of Gracehill, the plantation Cedarhall, and a courtyard scene in St. Johns. The artist was himself a missionary in Antigua and his work, like those of his colleagues, was focused on the enslaved population. These are the plates only; the 8-page text pamphlet is not present. Plate number 1 is mis-numbered 4, but this is the complete suite of plates. Beinecke Lesser Antilles Collection 820.

Four hand-colored aquatint plates, 311 x 457mm (sheet size), engraved by Hürliman (3) and F. Hegri (1), full margins. Laid in to original pictorial printed wrappers, titled in German and French; modern half morocco solander case.Stobwasser, Ludwig
