Joseph Joachim (Hungarian: Joachim József; Köpcsény, June 28, 1831 - Berlin, August 15, 1907) was a Hungarian violinist, conductor, composer and teacher. The print is made the year of the musician's passing.
Ferdinand Schmutzer (21 May 1870 – 26 October 1928) was an Austrian photographer and engraver. Like the Bavarian painters, Franz von Lenbach and Franz von Stuck, Ferdinand Schmutzer also used photographs as preliminary studies for his etchings. The naturalistic and documentary character of photography was very appropriate for his etchings. Not only was Schmutzer a noted engraver and copperplate etcher, he was also a highly talented photographer who possessed a remarkable refined light and shadow technique.

Ferdinand Schmutzer (Vienna 1870 – 1928)
|
Born Vienna, May 21, 1870; died there, October 26, 1928. Son of the animal sculptor Ferdinand Schmutzer who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna from 1849, spouse of Alice Schmutzer. Schmutzer studied 1885/86 at the Wr. Kunstgewerbeschule and sculpture with K. L. A. Kühne , 1886-93 painting at the Wr. Akad. der bildenden Künste with Matthias Trenkwald; at the same time he completed his training as an etcher with William Unger. Schmutzer undertook study trips to Germany, stayed, made possible by the Rome Prize, from 1894-96 in Holland, 1899 in northwest France (Concarneau) and 1900 in Paris (School Cormon). From 1905 he was a member of the Genossenschaft der bildenden Künstler Wiens (Künstlerhaus) and from 1901 of the Vereinigung bildender Künstler Österr. (Secession), of which he was president 1914-17; since 1906 a member of the Berliner, in 1908 he succeeded Ungers as professor of etching at the Wr. Akad. der bildenden Künste, of which he was rector 1922-24. Until his death Schmutzer undertook numerous journeys, which led him repeatedly to Holland (28 times), to Brittany, Tyrol and Trentino as well as to Upper Italy and Hungary (1924/25). Schmutzer became known primarily as a virtuoso etcher and only secondarily as a painter. He created almost 300 etchings, some of them in large format; the 1904 sheet "Joachim Quartet" was considered the largest etching created up to that time (884 x 1227 mm).
