Illustrirter Katalog der ersten Ausstellung der graphischen künste in Wien
An illustrated exhibition catalogue issued in Vienna in 1883 by the Gesellschaft für vervielfältigende Kunst to document the first international show of graphic arts. The plates reproduce prints in etching, engraving and photomechanical processes, including a studio head of a young woman in a laurel wreath, a child's study captioned Tête d'Étude, and a monochrome portrait of Pope Leo XIII. A designer could take from them a range of tonal portrait treatments, from fine line engraving to soft, shaded halftone.
