ANGABEN ZUM LEBENSLAUF UND ZUR TÄTIGKEIT DES KUPFERSTECHERS JOHANN BLASCHKE (1770 – 1833)

Burinist Johann Blaschke, born in Bratislava and professionally active in Vienna, contributed to a series of publications, popularizing contemporary literature together with editions of antique literature on mythology, art or history. Facts from the artist's work and life - especially those on relationship between illustrators and publishers - indicate that book illustration at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries is relevant not only to art historians but also to those who research the book market of the epoch.
