He was also well known for a series of birds eye views of a number of Australian cities and towns.
Rudolph Jenny (1827-1905)
Born in Switzerland, Jenny worked as an engraver and then migrated to Victoria in 1855. By 1861 he was employed by Edward Grosse at 62 Collins St, East Melbourne. Jenny is best known for this series of fine engravings of Melbourne suburbs which are very rare.
