Johann Wilhelm Archenholz (1741–1812), born in Langfuhr (Wrzeszcz) near Danzig (Gdańsk), was a Prussian[1][2][3][4][5] Professor of History and a publicist. His book about the history of the Seven Years of Silesian War (1756-63) was the basis for many reprints, as well as for school books. Archenholz commissioned a Berlin artist, Johann Friedrich Bolt, to produce a copper etching for Archenholz's History of Gustav Vasa of the famous Swedish Nobility.
