Cöntgen moved to Frankfurt am Main sometime before 1776, when he married Elisabeth Mund (1752 - 1783), the daughter of painter Johann Samuel Mund (1724 - 1794). He and his wife founded a drawing institute in 1799, where Cöntgen taught painting and Elisabeth taught drawing, painting, and etching (all learned from her father).

This is a 1792 Laurids de Therbu map of the 1757 siege of Fort William Henry during the French and Indian War (1754 - 1763). It was built by the British in September 1755 on the southern shore of Lake George as a launching point for attacks against Fort St. Frédéric, a French fort. Both forts were part of a line of strongpoints along the strategic inland waterway from Montreal to New York City. (more details)
