Author(s)

Reference: Augustin de Backer, Bibliothèque des écrivains de la Compagnie de Jésus, vol. 2, 1872, column 109.

The book is in French; the quote about the author is from a certain Stöger and is in Latin: "Effigies ejus [Patris Hell] a W. Pohl delineata æri incisa est a J. G. Haid Viennæ 1771 in veste Lapponicum fusa de hoc itinere inscriptione, et ab J. E. Nilson Augustæ Vindel." (Stöger.)

That is, approximately: "His [Fr. Hell's] picture, drawn by W. Pohl was etched (?) on bronze by J. G. Haid in Vienna in 1771 in Sami ("Lapp") clothes… and by J. E. Nilson in Augsburg".

"Augustæ Vindel." is Augustæ Vindelicorum (Augsburg).

As it is unlikely that many such drawings were made, it must be the one this page is about.

At least one work was derived from Pohl's work: a 1970 Czechoslovakian stamp (Scott 1670)
