Christoph Weigel was a German cartographer and engraver who lived in the 17th and 18th centuries. He is well-known for his works in cartography and geographical publications. One of his notable works is the map titled "America Septentrionalis" which translates to "North America" in Latin.

In 1725, Christoph Weigel created a map of North America, which featured the region around Halifax as an inset. An inset is a smaller map that provides a detailed view of a specific area within the larger map.

Halifax is the capital city of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located on the eastern coast of Canada. It has a long and significant history, particularly as a strategic naval and military location during various conflicts.

The map "America Septentrionalis" with the Halifax inset would have been an essential resource for understanding the geography and exploration of North America during that time period. It likely depicted various regions, rivers, mountains, settlements, and other geographical features of the continent, providing valuable information for explorers, merchants, and scholars of the era.

Weigel was born in Redwitz an der Rodach, Germany, and studied engraving in Augsburg. He later worked in Vienna and Frankfurt am Main before settling in Nuremberg in 1698. In Nuremberg, he established his own publishing house and produced a wide variety of works, including books on anatomy, costume, heraldry, and military science. He also published a number of illustrated almanacs and calendars.

Weigel's work was highly influential in his day, and he is considered one of the most important German engravers of the 17th century. His books and prints are still widely admired for their beauty and accuracy.
