Description
Engraved city map of Augsburg by Christoph Weigel. Plan of the city with fortifications, left Leopoldstadt, below an extensive key with description. From Bequemer Schul- und Reisen-Atlas also titled Atlas scholasticus et itinerarius by Christoph Weigel. First published in Nuremberg in 1718. Weigel's well-known travel atlas, which he published in collaboration with Professor Johann David Köhler.
Christoph Weigel the Elder was an engraver and publisher active in Nuremberg in the early 1700s. During his lifetime he published 70 books and series of engravings, including the atlas Descriptio Orbis Antique in XLIV tabulis published in 1720. For his geographical works and maps, he worked closely together with the highly successful Nuremberg cartographer Johann Baptist Homann. His younger brother, Johann Christoph Weigel (1661-1726) also known as Christoph Weigel the Younger, worked as well as an engraver and publisher in Nuremberg. Weigel's company was continued by his wife when he died in 1725.
Christoph Weigel the Elder (1654-1725)
Christoph Weigel was born on 9 November 1654 in Marktredwitz (Redwitz, in the Margraviate of Bayreuth) and died in Nuremberg on 5 February 1725. After training as a goldsmith, he learned copperplate engraving in Augsburg under Georg Andreas Wolfgang and Matthias Küsel. He then held various positions in Vienna, Augsburg and Frankfurt, and worked for a time in Regensburg. In 1698 he moved to Nuremberg, acquired citizenship and founded an art and book business with a branch in Vienna. He married the daughter of the prominent engraver and publisher Johann Christoph Lochner, which helped integrate him into the Nuremberg artistic community.In Nuremberg, Weigel worked closely with the imperial geographer Johann Baptist Homann (1664–1724) on maps. His maps are noted for their detail and accuracy and include sheets such as Silesia (c. 1700), northern Greece and the Balkans, and a map of Transcaucasia from a historical atlas of c. 1720. He also worked with a younger brother, Johann Christoph Weigel, who ran an art shop in Nuremberg and was also very successful.
After Weigel’s death in 1725, his widow ran the firm, publishing a number of his works posthumously (for example his coat-of-arms book), until about 1734. The firm then passed to his son, Christoph Weigel the Younger (d. 1746), who partnered with Schneider as Schneider-Weigel. That firm continued to publish until the early 19th century.

Condition / Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century, then "colored", or "attractive colors" will be used.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
