Alexia de Lode

Anna Alexia Constantia de Lode, also Lodde, (1737–1765) was a Danish engraver who practised copper-plate etching.

She is remembered in particular for her many depictions of Danish towns and cities which she prepared as illustrations for Erik Pontoppidan's Den danske Atlas (1763).

[3] Raised in a family of copper-plate etchers, in 1760 de Lode created images to illustrate Edward Moore's Fabler for det smukke Kiøn (1760), the Danish version of his Fables for the Female Sex which was translated by S.C.

[1][4] Based on those by the French engraver Simon François Ravenet in the original English edition, her 10 signed illustrations depict landscapes and animal scenes, all of which bear her signature.

They appear to have been inspired by Marcus Tuscher's illustrations of Frederic Louis Norden's Voyage d'Egypte et de Nubie (1755).
