About Georg Wolfgang Franz Panzer
- Georg Wolfgang Franz Panzer (31 May 1755 – 28 June 1829) was a German botanist and entomologist. He was born at Etzelwang in the Upper Palatinate and died at Hersbruck, near Nuremberg.
- He was the son of Georg Wolfgang Panzer (the elder, 1729-1805), one of the most distinguished and productive of German bibliographers, whose Annales Typographici were published between 1793 and 1803.A physician, he practised at Hersbruck.
- A celebrated botanist, he had a very species-rich herbarium. He also assembled a very important insect collection which was the basis of a vast work Faunae insectorum germanicae initia (Elements of the insect fauna of Germany), published at Nuremberg between 1796 and 1813.
- Illustrated by Jacob Sturm (1771–1848), with more than 2,600 hand-colored plates of individual, lifesize insects, this work was issued in 109 parts over the 17-year period of its serial publication, a common pattern for illustrated natural history works in the 18th and 19th centuries.
