Das Werk der Grazer Stecherfamilie Kauperz : ein Nachtrag zu Josef Wastlers Steirischen Künstlerlexikon
This 1909 Graz monograph by Friedrich Wibiral supplements Josef Wastler's Styrian artists' lexicon with a study of the Kauperz family of engravers, published by Ulr. Mosers Buchhandlung in Graz for art historians and specialists. Its pictures are small black-and-white copper-plate prints: a cherub leaning on a carved tombstone before a hilltop town and river, and a half-length oval portrait of a man in a powdered wig and cravat. A designer could take from them the restrained tonal engraving of late eighteenth-century Austrian book plates and portrait mezzotints.
