Geissendorfer was known for his etchings, and these pieces are examples of that technique. Etching involves using acid to create lines in a metal plate, which is then used to print the image. His work often depicted cityscapes and architectural scenes, particularly of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, where he lived and worked. These pieces clearly show detailed cityscapes with recognizable buildings and landmarks. Geissendorfer's style is generally representational, meaning he aimed to depict recognizable scenes and objects from the real world. While there might be some artistic interpretation, the focus is on accurately portraying the architecture and atmosphere of the locations. In these engravings, there's a notable use of light and shadow to create depth and atmosphere. The blue tones enhance this effect, giving the scenes a nocturnal or wintry feel.
