How common was it for HRE content creators to have their works imported to American cities during the colonial era?
Post Body

Im talking here content creators, I know its a modern term, but what I mean is people who make content, in the sense of novels, art, music, manuals, dictionaries, paintings, designer shoes and furniture, etc...

Basically intellectual property that's accredited to somebody in the Holy Roman Empire, which at the time included Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Germany, etc...

I mean anything from a copy of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, to a book by Gottfried Leibniz, a collection of essays by Immanuel Kant, a book collection of etchings by one of the Flemish masters, etc...

I ask this because I always come across historians talking about how in love with John Locke the Americans were or how the French colonists were loving the delightful works of Diderot and Voltaire. How Cervantes and Camoes were big in the Portuguese and Spanish colonies.

But I hardly ever hear of works by people from Austria and Germany, the HRE essentially, which produced many impressive people during those the colonial rule of Britain, France, and the Iberian countries.
