Abstract
The paper discusses a set of etchings depicting different buildingsin Gdansk (Danzig) and different parts of the city, first publishedin 1617. The artist was the little known Ægidius Dickman, active inGdánsk and probably also in the Netherlands in the first quarter ofthe 17th century. In the same year that these etchings were published,Dickman also finished a large birds-eye view of Gdánsk. The setof town views and the panorama were both republished by ClaesJanszoon Visscher in 1625.The author of the article discusses the relationship betweenDickman and Visscher and their collaboration on this project, aswell as their wider artistic relationship. Dickman seems to have beentrained in the Netherlands, the etchings proving his familiarity withVisscher´s topographical prints.
