Adolph Friedrich Kunike

Adolph Friedrich Kunike (25 February 1777, Greifswald - 17 April 1838, Vienna) was a German-born Austrian lithographer, illustrator and publisher.

His father is believed to have been Adolf Eberhard Kunike, a clerk and arithmetic teacher at the Greifswald primary school.

In 1816, he made the acquaintance of Alois Senefelder, the inventor of lithography.

Shortly after, he helped the publisher Carl Gerold (1783-1854) set up his printing works to handle lithographs.

Perhaps his best known publication is Zwey hundert vier und sechzig Donau-Ansichten nach dem Laufe des Donaustromes von seinem Ursprung bis zu seinem Ausflusse in das Schwarze Meer ... (Two hundred and sixty-four Danube views following the course of the Danube stream from its origin to its outflow into the Black Sea ...), which was published in three editions (1820, 1824, 1826).
