Copper engraving, by Marc Abraham Rupprecht, signing bottom left in tha plate, mm 260x650. Johann C. Hafner (1668 - 1754) was engraver and printer, he worked in Vienna and Agsburg; some of his works have been realized between 1720 and 1730, while the series from which the present work has been taken has been realized between 1745 and 1750. In excellent condition. Very rare. Tooley 275: “The iconographic model of this view is the engraving printed by Georg Baltazar Probst in 1730, after Bernard Werner’s drawing. As usual, the view is not reliable on an architectonical point of view, for it refers to the classical nordic style, in which the multitude of domes, bell towers and high poles ends in hollow covers, typical of Mitteleuropean cities”.
