DescriptionTwo images are printed together on one sheet.
In the upper image, VIEW IN AUSTRIA, an arched bridge crosses a river. An arched gateway and a building that appears to have a tiled roof are at the left. A square tower and two small buildings are at the right. In the left foreground, a woman and a child walk on grass beside a dirt road. Another woman holds a child by the arm as it reaches toward the water. A large rock is in the right foreground. Several trees surround the buildings. A large building or town is on the right bank of the river near a small sailing vessel. A castle is on one of the mountains in the background.
In the lower image, VIEW OF THE ALPS, a large building, possibly a palace, in a vaguely Indian style, is at the right. It has two domes, including an onion dome, and a tower or minaret. A garden occupies most of the foreground. It includes terraces, stone walls, steps, ornamental urns, a fountain, and sculptures of large animals, possibly dogs. Tall trees are at the left and right. Buildings, possibly castles, are on two of the four steep mountains in the background.

Technique Note: The images were presumably intended to be cut apart and sold separately, hence the separate signatures on each print. There is not much space between the images, so this could be one explanation for the very narrow margins found on some Kellogg prints. (Finlay 12/30/2002)
