The versatility of Matthaus Merian the Elder, considered to be the most prolific engraver in the German-speaking world of the 17th century, is expressed in his countless smaller works as well as his major book publications. Volume 5 of the collected prints is now dedicated to Merian's Newe Welt Und Americanische Historien, published together with Johann Ludwig Gottfried in 1631, which continues Theodor De Bry's travelogue collections. They were to have a lasting influence on the image of America well into the 18th century. The now available, carefully edited and revised fifth volume concludes Lucas Heinrich Wuthrich's nearly six-decade treatment of the printed works of Matthaus Merian.
