Jeremias Falck (Polish: Jeremiasz Falck; 1610–1677) was an engraver of the 17th century Baroque, born and active in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[1] He signed most of his over 300 works as J. Falck, sculp., a few as Falck Polonus (Falck the Pole)[2][3] or Falck Gedanensis (Falck of Gdańsk).[4]
