Nope! Why would there be a sketch in the book when there are so many good paintings of Germania?

It requires pretty much days of hard work and it's purpose is to be able to copy images. It's just like potato stamps on a whole different level.
Etching with such detail can't be made on just a whim or with any tool at hand.
Usually, acidic solutions are used to carve the crevices.

I'm not certain who the artist is, but it seems like it's of 17th or 18th century mid European origin.

Please refrain from posting images you found somewhere as your own.
Especially historical ones, such as this.

I'm a fine arts graduate and trust me, I know what kind of labour has been put into that work of art.

Nah, he didn't and it's not a drawing, it's a print.

If you look at the bottom left corner you can easily see the lines of the etching.
It's pretty dark and blurry, but you can easily make them out once you know what you're looking for.

You carve a block of metal, wood or anything solid intricately, ink it up and print it on a piece of whatever.

As I said, it's a higher level of potato printing.

You can probably understand it better if you have a look at this.
It's the same technique.
