He trained as an engraver under Johann Baptist Homann in Nuremberg before establishing his own publishing firm in Augsburg around 1717. His skill and output were so impressive that Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI appointed him Imperial Geographer in 1732 -- a title he shared with his former master Homann.
