AMELIE & MARIE TNZL VON TRAZBERG
A collection of nine albums of botanical watercolours, Bavaria, [circa 1861-1895]. 9 volumes, (188 x 250mm, and smaller). 365 ORIGINAL BOTANICAL WATERCOLOURS by Amelie (278) and Marie (87) Tnzl von Trazberg, each drawing annotated in pencil. Various original bindings.
The albums represent over thirty years of careful botanical study by two talented members of the Tnzl (or Tenzel) von Trazberg family. The family, headed by Freiherr von Tenzel, a chamberlain to the royal court, lived at Castle Dieteldorf, Bavaria, during the period covered by the albums.
The albums show single flowers, mixed bouquets and, in particular, numerous highly decorative gatherings of roses. As the annotations make clear the drawings were executed in various locations including Castle Dieteldorf in the Oberpfalz, Offenburg, Possenhofen, Weikertshofen, Trebitz and Munich.
