Leopold (1699-1755)

Johann Christian Leopold (1699-1755) was a German engraver and music publisher. Leopold was the son of the engraver and publisher Joseph Friedrich Leopold. Between 1710 and 1750, the family of publishers published countless prints and views of cities. With the death of his father, he took over the publishing house. Leopold collaborated with, among others, the Rococo painter Gottfried Bernhard Göz, as well as Johann Jacob Lotter. Numerous sepia-toned views of the city of Augsburg bear the designation "Aug. Vind." (Augustae Vindelicorum), the Roman name of the city. They are accompanied by an outline of the city's history in Latin/German.
