Jeremias Wolff (1663 - 1724) is particularly well known for prospective views and panoramas of major German cities. Like most such views of cities of the 18th century, they are characterized by a title decoration with the name of the city that appears written on parchment paper.The representation reveals sharp outlines and masterfully drawn perspective. The legend at the bottom provides precise numerical reference to the major points of interest and monuments.
Engraving Information:
This artistic reproduction of a vintage map was made using modern graphic procedures, but obtaining the results found in the antique copperplate engraving technique, as one can easily find out by lightly rubbing his/her finger on the map. This map, which is an exact reproduction of the original antique, is printed on cotton paper panels which are glued and mounted on a cotton cloth background "a stacchi" (slightly separated from each other), in order to allow for folding and easier transport. Finally, map is water-colored by hand making it a truly unique piece, worthy of the original old print.
