Description
Rare view of the Berlin Opera House engraved by Johann Heinrich Weiss (1758-1826).
Weiss collaborated with Johann Rudolf Meyer in the production of the Atlas suisse (from 1786), for which he was harshly criticized in several journals by Johann Georg Tralles, who accused him of failing to apply triangulation (1796-97). An engineer-geographer in several armies, Weiss became a captain in the French Topographical Bureau of Bavaria (1801-02) and head of the French Topographical Bureau of Helvetica led by Colonel Maurice Henry (1803-08, 1810-13). Again active as an independent topographer (from 1817), he worked on a European atlas in Freiburg im Breisgau (from 1820), published posthumously by Joseph Edmund Woerl. In 1814 he was awarded a knighthood in the Legion of Honor.
Etching, impressed on contemporary laid paper, in excellent condition.
