A collection of engravings, after paintings by the early 17th century artist Baur, depicting his travels in the Italian region. This copy is incomplete; with eleven of seventeen prints and the title page; complete copies sell for over $2,000 (see Vialibri).
The goldsmith Melchior Kussel bought many of Baur's paintings after his passing and reproduced them by engraving, here printed by his son-in-law, Johann Ulrich Kraus.
This copy is incomplete, but bound nicely, and includes the title page. I would consider this a collection of prints, rather than the book. Kussel's engravings sell for $50 or more each dis-bound, hence the price range chosen here.
The full title is: Schöne und rahre Landschafften in Italien und andern Ländern nach dem Leben gezeichnet von Joh. Wilhelm Baurn Solche von Melchior Küßel in Kupffer gestochen. Augsburg: Johann Ulrich Krauss
