Edit Profile
Career
During a cruise on the Rhine in 1811, she drew a panoramic painting of the Rhine valley from the mouth of the Nahe to the Moselle. Johann Friedrich Cotta von Cottendorf (1764–1832) recognized the novelty of this technique of making pictorial maps and initiated the lithographic printing of this sheet by the Stuttgart stage painter Keller in 1822. In 1823, Friedrich Wilhelm Delkeskamp of the Frankfurt publishing company Friedrich Wilmans published this classic panorama of the Rhine from Mainz to Cologne.
Elisabeth von Adlerflycht had a painting gallery in Frankfurt, where today a street is named after the von Adlerflycht family.
