Five beautifully engraved broadsides with engraved text and illustration by Conrad Meyer. 

Conrad Meyer (1618 Zürich – 1689 Zürich) was a painter, engraver, and medallist of Zürich. He was a student of Matthäus Merian and was successful as a painter of portrait and landscapes, but later specialized on copper engraving, producing many fine and sought after works. He also produced the map of Switzerland by Conrad Gyger (1657) and a Planisphaerium Coeleste (1681).

Engravings ca 19 x 12.2 cm flush mounted at the time and issued as broadsides: 31.5 x 40 cm.

Mounts rather fingered and a little stained. Engraved area in good condition. Extremely rare.
