Lörtscher
Born in 1775.
Died in 1799.
Lörtscher belonged to a lineage of wood engravers active at the end of the eighteenth century. In January 1797, this family was admitted to the bourgeoisie of Vevey. Among their notable contributions are illustrations for the “Véritable messager boiteux” of Bern and Vevey, made after drawings by Théophile and Marius Steinlen.
Details concerning their production and artistic impact remain partial, leaving some uncertainty as to the extent of their œuvre.
