Literature

Three additional plates from the service with views of Thuringia in the Twinight Collection (cat. Raffinesse & Eleganz, Munich 2007, no. 107). Eva Wollschläger has suggested an attribution to the manufactory painter August Wilhelm Ferdinand Schirmer, who travelled through Thuringia and the Harz in 1823. His topographical drawings were among the most widely used designs in the painter's studio until 1840 (ibid. p. 338).
