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.
