    Description: The Eschers, an old Swiss family which for many generations were members of the Council of Zurich, were dedicated to technical and economic development. Among them were numbered merchants, important librarians, historians, engineers and geoscientists. Hans Conrad Escher (1767–1823) was a merchant, naturalist, engineer, Member of Parliament, statesman and a genius illustrator of landscapes, who created the first geologically relevant and encompassing view of the Swiss Alps, including the first 360° panorama drawings. Showing enormous prescience, he designed and initiated the canalization of the Linth river in Glarus and led this enormous work of geological engineering and river regulation from start to finish.
