I think it's a very interesting bit of Swiss history. All the work of Dufour (the General of the Swiss Confederation Forces in the Sonderbundskrieg) and his team in measuring, mapping and producing one of the highest quality topographical maps that still holds up today.

But Dufour maps use "hachure" [0] lines for relief, not this type of shading, I think.
