Ignaz Sebastian Klauber

Ignaz Sebastian Klauber (Russian: Игнац Себастьян Клаубер; 2 January 1753, Augsburg — 25 May 1817, Saint Petersburg) was a German copper engraver, who spent an important part of his career in Russia.

From there, he went to Nuremberg, where he worked for the art publishing house of Johann Friedrich Frauenholz [de].

In 1795, he was appointed court engraver to the Elector of Trier, Clemens Wenceslaus of Saxony, and elected a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.

One of his major projects involved compiling a catalogue of the engravings transferred to the Imperial Academy from the Załuski Library in Warsaw.

Among his last major works are illustrated atlases, depicting the voyages of Adam Johann von Krusenstern and Gavril Sarychev, who explored the coast of Alaska.
