He lived his entire life in Bavaria, particularly in Nuremberg. Initially, Johann trained to become a priest before converting to Protestantism and working as a notary.<\/p>\n<p>In 1702, Johann founded a publishing house that specialized in engravings. The firm flourished, becoming the leading map publisher in Germany and an important entity in the European map market. In 1715, Johann was named Imperial Geographer to the Holy Roman Empire by Charles VI and made a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. Most importantly for his business, his reputation and contacts gained him imperial printing privileges which protected his publications and recommended him to customers. Johann is best known for this <em>Grosser Atlas ueber die ganze Welt<\/em>, or the <em>Grand Atlas of the World<\/em>, published in 1716.<\/p>\n<p>After Johann died in 1724, the business passed to his son, Christoph (1703-1730). Upon Christoph\u2019s early death, the company passed to subsequent heirs, with the name of the company changing to Homann Erben, or Homann Heirs. The firm continued in business until 1848.<\/p>\n<p>Price: SOLD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FINE 18TH-CENTURY MAP OF EUROPE \u201cEuropa Christiani Orbis Domina in Sua Imperia Regna\u201d.
