Johannes Endletzberger

Johannes Endletzberger was an artist active across the first half of the nineteenth century, with documented production spanning the period from 1810 to 1839. This time frame places the artist within the era of significant expansion in graphic arts and commercial publishing.

Evidence of Endletzberger’s oeuvre is primarily represented by his work in popular printed media. Fourteen works by the artist are represented in museum collections, confirming an output focused on functional or ephemeral art forms. These holdings include at least five documented examples of the subject Greeting Card. Crucially, examples of Johannes Endletzberger prints are preserved in major North American institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The emphasis on reproductive printmaking suggests Endletzberger contributed significantly to the growing demand for widely distributed imagery during the period.

Because works like the Greeting Card series are housed in respected institutions, scholars and collectors can access the artist's output for study. Many of these historical images, now securely in the public domain, are frequently utilized by researchers. Today, these works are often reproduced as high-quality prints, providing access to early 19th-century graphic arts and design.
