General

A view of Breslau from the east, published soon after Chladni's death in the city. The cathedral is to the right, on the north bank of the Oder. The University and the Dom Steffensa (the Steffens house) where Chladni spent his last evening, are in the center on the south bank, behind trees, with beyond them (to the right of the trees) the pointed spire of the Nikolaikirche, to the west of the old town, where Chladni was buried; the towers of the medieval old town are to the left of the engraving.
