Notes
German printmaker Johann Jakob Haid produced a portrait of Sebastian Münster to serve as Plate 33 in Anton Brucker's 'Ehren-tempel der Deutschen Gelehrsamkeit' (1747), a series of portrait of fifteenth century German scholars. The portrait shows the cartographer wearing a doublet and beret, and holding in his left hand a small book. The image is set in an oval, beneath which the subject's name, position and dates of birth and death are given. The portrait appears to be drawn after an earlier example found in Thevet's "Vrais portraits et vies des hommes illustres" (1584).
