Antique Augspurg Panorama Etching Map Friedrich Bernhard Werner 1730 Germany
Available is this gorgeous antique panorama of "Augspurg", Germany. The piece is dated 1730 and signed “FB Werner 1730”, and on the opposite side “Wolffe”. It is a copper engraving or etching, with a clear impression visible. The image is a panorama of the city, with buildings numbered and named in the bottom margin. It is hand tinted with lovely colors, and lots of detail.
The map is framed in a basic gray wood frame, with gilded interior border. The frame measures 19 inches tall by 43 long. The visible area of the panorama is 16.75 by 41 inches. The overall condition is good, with slight yellowing to the paper. It has nice colors, no visible rips or tears. There is some rippling in the margins as seen in photos. The cover is plexiglass. Photos do have some glare, reflections and shadows.
Please review photos for a detailed view of condition.
Many of FB Werner’s panorama prints are available online - however I have not seen another “Augspurg”. A hard one to find - don’t miss it!
Augsburg is in Germany in the Bavaria region.
