[Silversmith] Johann Wilhelm Dammann Silber arbeiter in Augsburg gebohren in Schweinfurth den 29.ten Juny. Anno 1717.
Ant. Graff pinx. 1765.

Rare & scarce mezzotint. Sheet 350 x 240mm (13¾ x 9½"). L:aid down on sheet. Trimmed into plate, six large printer's creases.
A half length portrait of silver merchant Johann Wilhelm Dammann (1717-84), silver merchant of Augsburg, holding his design for a rococo tureen. It is unusual for a print with so many printer's creases (caused by the damp paper not being flat when put in the press) to survive quality control!
