Outline copper engraved plates of classical antiquities, from Antichita di Ercolano ( 1744 to 17920 ) by Georg Christoph Kilian,1709-1781
Georg Christoph Kilian,1709-1781 followed an apprenticeship with his father with the traditional years of travel, visiting Nuremberg and Hungary and working for a period in Vienna, where he studied the art of the Old Masters. He returned to Augsburg and established himself there, enjoying a high reputation in the literary and artistic circles of his time.

He worked both as a talented artist and as an historian, art collector and biographer of other artists. Apart from his renowned natural history collection, Kilian had a well-chosen art library and above all a comprehensive graphics collection, comprising engravings, woodcarvings and drawings.

He collected in particular the works of his own family. He himself also engraved portraits of his ancestors and family for the collection. The latter, bound in six volumes, now forms an important part of the Augsburg Staats- & Stadtbibliothek, to which he bequeathed it, along with the majority of his collection of 16000 engravings & prints in 1781.

His cartographic works included the Supplement to the Atlas Curieux [1738]; Kleiner Atlas [1757], Kriegs Atlas [1758], Theat. Guerre Allemagne - 61 maps [1760], America Septentrionalis [1760]

Le Antichita di Ercolano (The Antiquities of Heculaneum) was a collection of images of archeological finds from the excavations at the Roman city of Herculaneum. It was published over a 40 year period from 1744 to 1792 as the excavations continued. Many different artists and archeologists of the day worked on it. The Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were burried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius on the morning of 25 August, 79 AD. It was not until 1709 that the city of Herculaneum was discovered when a peasant digging a well on his property was astonished to uncover large slabs of inscribed marble.
