“Corcyra Insula, vulgo Corfu… Christoph. Weigelio editore.”. A classic early-18th-century German atlas plate that combines a clear coastal chart with an attractive city prospect. Trained as a goldsmith/engraver and working in Vienna before settling in Nuremberg (c.1680s), he issued town views, historical prints, and several popular atlases.
