Summary "Albrecht Dürer's Kupferstiche, Radirungen, Holzschnitte und Zeichnungen" is a detailed study of the prints and related works of the artist Albrecht Dürer, written during the mid-19th century. The book meticulously analyzes Dürer's copper engravings, etchings, woodcuts, and drawings, while also delving into the types of paper and watermarks associated with his work. It serves as a critical resource for art historians and collectors alike, highlighting the significance of paper characteristics in determining the authenticity and chronology of Dürer's prints. The opening of this comprehensive examination begins with a preface that discusses the increasing attention given to the study of paper types and watermarks in the context of 15th-century prints, a focus that has been less emphasized for Dürer's works until now. The author, Oberbaurath B. Hausmann, reflects on his extensive research over several years, detailing travels to various collections to support his findings. He emphasizes how understanding the paper used in Dürer’s prints can provide insights into their dating and value, thereby enhancing appreciation for the artist’s legacy. This scholarly work aims not only to present Dürer's artistic contributions but also to correct misconceptions about them based on their physical characteristics.
