Catalogue reproducing all etchings by this German-born printmaker competed between 1974 and 1979. Lists techniques employed in each print, including relief, aquatint, drypoint, softground, and photoetching. Text in English and Japanese. This copy inscribed by Schmeisser in 1982. "Schmeisser is... an artist in tune with the rhythms of the 20th century while fully acknowledging antecedents that go back to Gunewald and Durer... As archaeologist, Schmeisser's absorption is with stones, tree-trunks, shells and crustaceans, as geometrician with the spiral, the circle and its components, and as an artist with great master craftsmen such as Da Vinci." -- Introduction, p. 3.
