Wolff (1663-1724)

Jeremias Wolff (born 1663 in Augsburg, died 1724 Augsburg) was an Augsburg engraver and publisher. From a small engraving shop, the trained watchmaker built the largest art publishing house of the first half of the 18th century and distributed popular engravings. Most of the prints were illustrated thesis sheets that were sold throughout Europe. The publishing house employed the best engravers of his time. However, on most engravings, only the name of the publisher Wolff was recorded. At Wolff's instigation, the Imperial City Art Academy was founded in Augsburg in 1710. The publishing house was continued by his student and son-in-law Johann Balthasar Probst (1673–1750), an engraver and publisher, and later by his sons under the name Jeremias Wolff Erben.
