This presentation focuses on the copper engraver and publisher Hieronymus Löschenkohl (1753–1807), who revolutionized image reporting in Vienna from 1780 onwards. His vibrant, often satirical prints captured sensational events with near-daily updates, taking advantage of relaxed censorship under Joseph II.
Hieronymus Löschenkohl (1753–1807) was a remarkable copper engraver and publisher who transformed the landscape of visual reporting in Vienna starting in 1780. His innovative approach allowed him to provide the public with sensational and almost up-to-the-minute image reports, capitalizing on a period of relaxed censorship under Emperor Joseph II. These colorful and frequently satirical copper engravings captured the zeitgeist of the era. When political themes became more restricted, Löschenkohl adeptly shifted his focus to more innocuous subjects. Beyond his prints, he was also a shrewd marketer, selling a variety of products including calendars, fans, games, buttons, and wax figures. The page showcases a comprehensive collection of his works, illustrating historical events, social commentary, and daily life in late 18th-century Vienna, providing deep insight into his artistic output and entrepreneurial spirit.
