Gabriel Lory

He worked as an apprentice with Johann Ludwig Aberli and Caspar Wolf of Bern; later with Louis Albert Guislain Bacler d'Albe and Jean-François Albanis de Beaumont (1755–1812) of Geneva.

From 1784, Lory was back in Bern, working on an edition of colorized landscape panoramas.

In 1787, he edited art prints with Simon Daniel Lafond (1763-1831), mostly motifs of the Bernese Oberland, later also landscapes from other parts of the canton of Bern, Ticino and central Switzerland.

He worked in Herisau during 1795–1801, editing views of Moscow and St Petersburg.

Together with his son, he published Voyage pittoresque de Genève à Milan par le Simplon (1811) and Voyage pittoresque dans la vallée de Chamouni et autour du Montblanc (1815).
