The Klauber family were engravers and fine art publishers from Augsburg, Germany. Two of the sons of ancestor ''Franz Christoph Klauber'' established a ''catholic fine art publishing company'' by 1737, together with Gottfried Bernhard Göz (1708-1774), who broke away to start his own business in 1742. Klauber brothers remained a trade mark until the end of the century, and longer: * Joseph (Joseph Sebastian) Klauber (1710–1768), engraver. He was first a disciple of one ''Melchior Rein'', later of Anton Birkhardt at Prague. * Johann Baptist Klauber (1712 until around 1787), engraver. Both brothers were ''Hofkupferstecher ''(of the court )'' der Kurfürsten von Trier'' and produced mainly images of saints in a factory-like way. In 1757, a ''picture bible'' of 100 engravings was produced.〔(Biblische Geschichten des Alten und Neuen Testaments, Augsburg 1748 ); (digitized copy ) click on 'Grabados'〕 * ''Joachim Klauber'' († 1791), a priest, their brother, a monk in ''Scheyern'' abbey. * * ''Franz Xaver Klauber'' ( * 1741, son of ''Johann Baptist''), engraver "who studied in Rome for a considerable time". * * Ignaz Sebastian Klauber ( * January 2, 1753, Augsburg; † May 25, 1817, St. Petersburg; son of ''Johann Baptist'')〔((DE) ) says "1753-1817", as does "Neue Deutsche Biographie". Its precursor, (Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie Bd. 16 S. 62 ) gives "1754-1820". 〕 was the most renowned member of his family. He first studied with his father, then went to Rome, then to Paris to study with Johann Georg Wille. He was accepted at the ''Paris Academy'' and became ''Graveur du Roi'' soon later, but went back to Augsburg during French Revolution, moved on to Nuremberg and finally, in 1796, to St. Petersburg, where he became ''engraver of the court'' and director of the ''Academy of Engravers''. He very probably died in St. Petersburg. * *One ''Katharina Klauber,'' engraver. No precise details; there are sources which call her ''a pseudonyme of Ignaz Sebastian''.〔(...
