He also engraved a map of Moravia dated 1784 based on Jan Venut's model for the second volume of František Josef Schwoy's Topographische Schilderung des Markgrafthum Mähren (Prague-Leipzig 1786). Engelmann's vignette on the title page of Allgemeine Land- und Hausökonomie (Olomouc 1787) is marked "fecit" in the signature . The son Wenzel Engelmann Jr. also stood out from the Viennese Engelmann family . (1748-1803) and grandson Franz Engelmann (1771-1808).
Map in excellent condition for its age and rarity. Not easy to locate this map on the market. Pricing and grading commensurate.
