Catalog of an exhibition of early engravings : Frederick Keppel & Co., New York, November 8th to 30th, 1923 / with an introduction by David Keppel
An 1923 exhibition catalogue published in New York by Frederick Keppel & Co., introduced by David Keppel, listing early European engravings from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries for dealers and collectors. The single plate shows a bearded standing male figure in a draped cloak holding a small object, rendered in fine engraved hatching on a plain grey ground, with a monogram at the base; a designer might take its dense cross-hatching and tonal modelling as a model for line-based shading.
