2 - Karl Friedrich Schinkel, after

Karl Friedrich Schinkel, after (Neuruppin 1781 – 1841 Berlin), "The Drinking Fountain in Aachen" (Elisenbrunnen), 1824, etching by Eduard Mauch (1800–1874) based on the original design, published in "Collection of Architectural Designs: Containing in Part Works That Have Been Executed, and in Part Projects Intended for Execution,” Issue 4, Plate 30, Berlin 1824, titled and labeled in the illustration, with Schinkel and Mauch named in the lower margin, still without the plate number in the upper right corner (“30”), which was added only in later editions, 37.5 x 47 cm, mounted under glass and a mat in a white anodized aluminum frame, overall size: 50 x 70 cm. Limit 135,- The “Collection of Architectural Designs,” now commonly abbreviated as “SAE,” was published from 1819 to 1840 in 29 installments in booklet form in landscape folio format, usually including an explanatory sheet and six illustration plates. After Schinkel had published his Berlin buildings in the first three issues, he turned his attention in the fourth issue to structures located outside Berlin for the first time: the Antonin Hunting Lodge and the Elisenbrunnen in Aachen. Although the initial designs for the fountain date back to 1819, Schinkel revised the plans again in 1823, so that construction could not begin until 1824, following approval by the Prussian government. The Elisenbrunnen was opened on May 2, 1827, but the official dedication did not take place until 1828.
