Albrecht Dürer's Kupferstiche, Radirungen, Holzschnitte und Zeichnungen

A close technical and cataloguing study analyzes Albrecht Dürer’s copper engravings, etchings, woodcuts, and drawings, giving particular attention to the papers and watermarks used for impressions. It is organized in sections treating engraved plates, woodcut series, and hand drawings, and includes reproduced watermark tracings and explanatory notes on paper types. The author describes his examination of public and private collections, discusses how paper characteristics aid dating and assessing the quality and priority of impressions, and records limitations encountered, while offering observations to help collectors distinguish original impressions from later reprints and forgeries.
