plant

Wilhelmine von Schack published an album in 1846 at the age of 20 with the title 12 Views of Heringsdorf from Nature, drawn in 1844 . The templates created by the draftsman were lithographed by Julius Henning, a landscape painter and student of Wilhelm Schirmer , and printed by H. Delius in Berlin. The proceeds from the sale of the Heringsdorf views flowed into the construction of the church in the forest, which was designed by Ludwig Persius in the years 1846–1848 . These Schack drawings are among the rare artistic testimonies from Heringsdorf's early days, which already developed into a spa and bathing resort for the nobility and the wealthy bourgeoisie in those years. The development into a fashionable seaside resort is primarily associated with the name Georg Bernhard von Bülow .

Wilhelmine von Schack's drawings are mostly vedutas of Pomerania, especially the island of Usedom and the Rhine-Moselle area. Some views of Berlin have also survived. She often signed her drawings with WvS or WAS .
