- An important and very scarce work, and “one of the first generation of print collecting handbooks published specifically for the non-connoisseurial new print collector. The aim of [this] handbook was specifically to aid the ‘common’ print collector both in acquiring and in using... a collection. As Junker put it, print collecting had now to do not only with the ‘prince’ or ‘count’, but also with the ‘person born of the middle class’, and he himself would provide guidance through the recommendation of a ‘Cabinetchen’ of 100 prints. This Cabinetchen with the diminutive implying the relationship of size between the portfolio of the new collector and the ‘Cabinet’ of the established print lover, was available purely on the grounds that it was affordable, totalling 370 Gulden. This affordability was due to the important fact that the prints were new reproductive engravings, not original Old Master prints. The sum of 370 Gulden was in fact approximately ten times the yearly salary of a tutor and perhaps half a professor’s annual income. The sum required for a ‘start up’ collection was therefore not one to be taken lightly, and implied a degree of seriousness on the part of the aspirant collector.... Junker began his discussion of the 100 recommended prints with the category of Geschicte or History. This was followed by the categories of Portrait, Landscape, and what Junker called Ideale... at the end came a section entitles Schwarze Kunst, or mezzotints.” (Spelman, cat. 86)
