Probst, Johann Michael (sold)


Johann Michael Probst (the Younger; 1757 - 1809) was a German engraver and publisher based in Augsburg. Along with his brothers Johann Georg and Johann Conrad, he inherited the firm of their father Johann Michael Probst I (1727 - 1776) upon his death. In terms of map publishing, the Probst family is notable for purchasing some copperplates previously belonging to Matteus Seutter (1678 - 1757), the rest going to Conrad Tobias Lotter (1717 - 1777), from which several of Seutter's maps were reissued in the late 18th century.
