ABOUT THE ARTIST
Georg Andreas Böckler (c. 1617-1687) was a German architect, engineer, and author. He was the architect of the city of Nuremberg and specialized in hydraulic architecture.

The fourth part includes designs for grottoes, garden pavilions, and architectural designs, including views of European palaces.
