Description

In the wake of Jeremias Wolff’s bigger view, this work presents many topographical references.

Leopold was a modest engraver and publisher in Augsburg; the series of city views, from which this one is taken, has been published in a very limited circulation, which means these works are very rare.

Copperplate, in excellent condition.

Johann Christian LEOPOLD (Augusta 1699 - 1755)

Print publisher and engraver based in Augsburg; son of Joseph Friedrich Leopold. He worked for the painter Gottfried Bernhard Goz, with Johann Jacob Lotter and others. He published mezzotints after Piazzetta and engraved numerous views of the city, some after Friedrich Bernhard Werner's drawings.
