Georg Schwanhardt the Elder (1601-1667) was a German glass-engraver and rock crystal engraver, and the founder of the Nuremberg school of engravers. [1] [2] [3] He was a student of Caspar Lehmann and upon Lehmann's death inherited his exclusive patent for engraving glass. [1] His engravings often portray miniature landscapes adorned with formal scrollwork. [1]
