EDITORS COMMENTS
The Gosauzwang aqueduct in Goisern, Upper Austria, 1822, is an engineering marvel of the 19th century. This impressive structure was built to convey brine from the Hallstadt salt mine to the boiling houses at Ischl and Ebensee. The aqueduct, depicted in this handcoloured copperplate engraving by Migliavacca from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," was a vital component of the salt production process during the Holy Roman Empire. The image captures the grandeur of the Gosauzwang, with its arches and intricate design, standing majestically amidst the picturesque landscape of Upper Austria. The engraving also features soldiers from the German imperial army, including grenadiers and chasseurs, adding a military touch to the scene. The presence of these infantry and cavalry units may indicate the importance of the salt industry to the imperial forces. This illustration, taken from Alexandre de Labordes' "Voyage pittoresque en Autriche," published in 1822, offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the historical context of the time. The handcoloured copperplate engraving, produced by Migliavacca, showcases the intricate details of the aqueduct and the soldiers' uniforms, making it a fascinating piece of historical and fashionable art.
