Beschreibung:

Seidel (Georg Friedrich), Circle of ] Three architectural floor plans of the Munich Residence (Die Königliche Residenzin München) , pen and red ink, blue ink, graphite, wash, on linen topped wove paper, each sheet c. 118 x 945 mm., rolled, with some handling creases and folds, spotting and browning, minor surface dirt, unframed , [c.1870-1880]. ⁂ The three plans in the present lot directly relate to the chromolithographs contained within Georg Friedrich Seidel's 1873 publication on the Munich Residency. The plans show variant cross sections of the complex of buildings, with inscriptions and scales. None of the sheets appear to be signed or marked with any information relating to the hand of the creator, but the close association to the reduced plans published by Seidel suggest that if they are not by Seidel himself, then they are plausibly by someone known to him who was closely involved with the publication.
