Life

Copper engraving with a portrait of the Giessen doctor Johann Melchior Verdries ; signed 'I. Herring, scul. Noring Mountains "

Jacob Hering was born in Nuremberg at the end of the 17th century as the son of the pig-stick and innkeeper Johann Andreas Hering.

At the age of 25, Hering married Anna Maria Glandorf (1697–?) On March 14, 1724, daughter of the dealer and draper Georg Friedrich Glandorf. The couple had three sons and two daughters. The following data are known for three of the five children:

Georg Sigmund Hering (born February 26, 1725)
Margaretha Hering (born August 3, 1728)
Jacob Wilibald Hering (born December 30, 1730)

Jacob Hering was registered in the Nürnberger Ämterbüchlein from 1726 and until 1760 , but the years 1755, 1756 and 1760 are deleted there. Hering may have been active in Hanover as early as 1755, where he was awarded the title of Royal British and Electoral Braunschweig-Lüneburgischer Hof copper engraver as part of the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover .

Hering provided the illustrations for the Origines Guelficae work written by Leibniz , Johann Georg von Eckhart , Johann Daniel Gruber , Christian Ludwig Scheidt and Johann Heinrich Jung about the noble family of the Welfs . According to the correspondence of Osnabrück statesman Justus Möser , Hering - at the behest of Minister Burchard Christian von Behr - was to design the Codex diplomaticus of the historiographer Jung with engravings.
