Watchmakers 17th century
Jeremias Wolff
Augsburg (Schwaben) 1663 — Augsburg (Schwaben) 1724
Jeremias Wolff was a German engraver and publisher.
Wolff was an engraver and watchmaker, but managed to create in Augsburg the largest art publishing house of the first half of the 18th century, which employed the best engravers of his time. The workshop, most often under Wolff's own name, produced maps and popular copperplate engravings. Among them is an album with illustrations of costumes of the Ottoman Empire, Germany, Switzerland, France and Turkey in the 18th century.
On the initiative of Jeremias Wolff, the Imperial City Art Academy was founded in Augsburg in 1710.
