He produced finely engraved maps of Central America and Mexico that appeared in German atlases of the late 1820s, at a time of great European interest in the newly independent republics of Latin America. His map of Mexico and Central America (1828) represents the state of geographical knowledge at the dawn of the post-colonial era. Steel-engraved map, colored in outline, as published. In the under left corner a small inset map with the surroundings of the city of Mexico.
