Georg Balthasar Probst was a German artist, engraver and publisher in Augsburg, a major European publishing centre in the 17th and 18th centuries. Probst came from an extended family of printers, whose businesses can all be traced back to the publishing firm of Jeremias Wolff (1663-1724). Probst based his view of Madrid on the mid-century view after Friedrich Bernhard Werner, omitting the army on the approach to the city. The Royal Alcazar which burnt down in 1734 has been replaced with the
Palacio Real as it was before subsequent extensive refurbishments.
