"Zwitserland. - 2,250,000 inwoners," is an 1850 print by Jan Schuitemaker. This educational print for children depicts Switzerland with four detailed images. The first image shows a map of Switzerland labeled with its major cities and mountains. The second image shows the city of Bern, Switzerland, highlighting its clock tower and the surrounding buildings. The third image shows the bridge between the cities of Fribourg and Freiburg, and the last image depicts the Hospice at the top of the mountain of Saint Bernard. This work exemplifies 19th-century Dutch illustrative printmaking with its informative text and detailed imagery.
