This detailed engraving by Alexander Speculi, created between 1705 and 1706, showcases the plan and elevation of a water feature at Karlsberg. The upper portion depicts a dramatic, rocky facade with a central opening, perhaps a cave entrance. The lower part presents a bird’s-eye view of the structure, revealing its circular form with radiating lines, likely representing water channels. The engraving, measuring 395 mm in height and 265 mm in width, offers a fascinating glimpse into the architectural and hydraulic design of this elaborate water spectacle.
