Coats of Arms of the Prominent Italian Royal and Ducal Houses, 1718

About the Item

Historische Wappen-Charte: Coats of Arms of the Prominent Italian Royal and Ducal Houses, 1718 This exquisite copper engraving, printed in 1718 in Nuremberg by Johann Ernst Adelbulner, showcases the coats of arms of prominent Italian royal and ducal houses. Created by Christoph Weigel, the map originates from his 'Bequemer Schul- und Reisen-Atlas', also known as ''Atlas scholasticus et itinerarius', a well-regarded travel atlas produced in collaboration with Professor Johann David Köhler. The old color applied to this engraving highlights the ornate heraldic symbols, illustrating the wealth and heritage of Italian nobility. Details: Cartographer: Christoph Weigel Title: Historische Wappen-Charte Derer vornehmsten Italienischen respective Koenigl. und Herzogl. Haeüser Publisher, Year: Johann Ernst Adelbulner, Nuremberg, 1718 Condition: Very good condition. The engraving has retained its bright, vibrant colors and intricate detail, representative of Weigel's craftsmanship. The margins are intact, with only minor age-toning consistent with its age. Cartographer: Christoph Weigel the Elder (1654-1725) was an engraver and publisher based in Nuremberg in the early 18th century. He produced numerous works, including 70 books and series of engravings, and collaborated with other prominent figures such as Johann Baptist Homann, a successful Nuremberg cartographer. Weigel's *Descriptio Orbis Antique in XLIV tabulis* was published in 1720. Upon his death in 1725, his publishing business was continued by his wife. His younger brother, Johann Christoph Weigel (1661-1726), also played an important role as an engraver and publisher in Nuremberg. This historical engraving serves as a vivid illustration of Italian heraldry and would have been an essential reference for scholars of European nobility and heraldic tradition during the early 18th century.

“The Restaurant of the House of Representatives” Engraving by Harper's Weekly
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This original wood engraving is titled “The Restaurant of the House of Representatives, Washington, DC.” It was published as a double-page image, in the August 12, 1893 issue of the famous 19th century newspaper Harper’s Weekly.
