Article description

Article description

Copper engraving colored in outline as published. 

Johann Walch (born November 25, 1757 in Kempten (Allgäu); † March 23, 1815 in Augsburg) was a German painter, engraver, cartographer and publisher. Johann Walch was the son of the merchant and amateur painter and engraver Sebastian Walch (1721–1788) and his wife Katharina Zorn, daughter of the butcher Martin Zorn. He received training as a miniature painter in Augsburg, Geneva and three years at the Vienna Art Academy. This was followed by a two-year trip to Italy. Before 1785 he settled in Augsburg, where on January 16, 1786 he married Anna Regina Will (* November 28, 1759 - † July 15, 1837), eldest daughter of the Augsburg-based engraver and publisher Johann Martin Will, and worked in the publishing house his father-in-law worked with him. As a result, the publisher increasingly turned to map production. In 1789, the material of the map publishers Matthäus Seutter and Tobias Conrad Lotter was acquired from the inheritance of Gustav Conrad Lotter (1746–1776), almost 25,000 individual map sheets and 208 copper plates. After Will's death in 1806, he inherited the Willsche Verlag, which he expanded into an important map publisher ("Joh. Walch'sche Maps Plot"). This resulted in the Joh. Walch printing company named after him. His son Johann Sebastian Walch (1787-1840) continued the publishing house, his daughter Regina (* December 18, 1800 - † December 23, 1865) married the pastor Friedrich Krauß (1798-1839).
