Das Kupferstichkabinet. Nachbildungen von Werken der graphischen Kunst vom Ende des XV. bis zum Anfang des XIX. Jahrhunderts
Das Kupferstichkabinet is a late nineteenth-century German portfolio of facsimile reproductions of prints, compiled by Albert Fischer and Willibald Franke and published in Berlin in 1897 for collectors and students of engraving. The four pictures show reproduced prints from the late fifteenth to early nineteenth century: a dim nocturnal nativity with figures clustered around a manger, a woodcut of armoured soldiers before an arched gate, a crowded interior scene of workers, and an angel announcing to a seated figure in a vaulted hall. A designer could take strong contrast, dense hatching, and compositions built on architectural frames.
