Rhine panorama
The Rhine panorama (also called relief panorama ) is a form of representation of the continuous parallel projection . This is generally the type of picture map for geographical objects and is used e.g. B. also used to illustrate Lake Constance , Danube or Lake Lucerne .
The Rheinpanorama was in 1811 by Elisabeth von Adlerflycht invented (1775-1846) from Frankfurt, the law of a son of the publisher Johann Friedrich Cotta (1764-1832), of the original 1822 just before the start of which he had introduced steam navigation on the Rhine with by a Stuttgart theater painter Karl Keller (1775–1853) as a lithograph . The relief panorama shows the Rhine from the mouth of the Nahe to the mouth of the Moselle from a bird's eye view at a 45 degree angle.
Friedrich Wilhelm Delkeskamp (1794–1872) then further developed the image type in 1824 as a classic companion for navigation on the Rhine. In 1825 he published his first panorama of the Rhine on behalf of the Frankfurt publisher Friedrich Wilmans (1765-1830) with the help of Elisabeth von Adlerflycht's work. Seven copper plates were necessary to clearly represent the route of the Rhine between Mainz and Cologne, which is becoming a classic tourist route. The copper engravings in the upright rectangular format were 234 cm in length and 23 cm in width. Using the practical leporello shape, the ship's traveler was able to adapt the transverse leporello to the current position of the ship by simply folding down the double pages. Since 1837 Delkeskamp has also adorned its panoramas with images on the sides that drew attention to special sights.
There have also been attempts recently to capture the Rhine graphically; so was by Stephan Kaluza the entire left bank joined into a single panoramic image.
