He may have been Swiss, or from Courmayeur. This aquatint is from a set of publisher's samples of Alpine views, largely around the Chain of Mont Blanc, originally taken round the countryside by a salesman to show potential buyers, hence the colouring and finishing are exceptionally fine and of the highest quality.
