Lebensläufe berühmter und verdienter Nürnberger
This is a German biographical collection, Lebensläufe berühmter und verdienter Nürnberger, compiled by Georg Wolfgang Karl Lochner and published in 1861 for readers interested in notable people of Nuremberg. The pictures are steel-engraved portrait busts of men in fur-collared robes, caps and beards, drawn in fine parallel hatching on warm cream paper. A designer could take from them the tonal range of fine line engraving, with dense cross-hatching for fur and hair and open highlights on faces.
