Christoph Hawich

His first artistic training came from his father, Stephan Hawich [de], and a local painter named Jungblut.

A letter of application to be a drawing teacher mentions additional study in Düsseldorf, but there is no independent evidence of this.

In 1816, he obtained a position at the Trier porcelain manufactory, which had been acquired by a family friend when the area passed from French to Prussian rule.

[3] That same year, he issued a large portfolio with views of Trier and explanatory text, written by Theodor von Haupt [de].

Most of the original images were provided by Johann Hugo Wyttenbach, founder and manager of the Municipal Library [de].
