The New International Encyclopædia/Juengling, Frederick (1915)

JUENGLING, yŭng'lĭng, Frederick (1846-89). An American wood engraver, born in New York City. He studied at the Art Students' League and was the first secretary and one of the founders of the American Society of Wood Engravers (1881). He belonged to the new school, which, for the long lines and regular sweeps of the graver, sanctioned by tradition, desired to substitute short, broken lines and dot stippling. Sylvester Koehler, in his paper on the “United States” contributed to the important folio volume Die Radierung der Gegenwart (Vienna, 1892-93), calls him the “boldest and most inconsiderate experimenter among the pioneers of the new school,” but cites his reproduction of “Monticello” as a veritable triumph of wood engraving. Juengling's reproductions of Kelly's illustrations in Scribner's Monthly (1877) is regarded by Weitenkampf as making “the first obvious, continued assertion of the new point of view.” Consult Frank Weitenkampf, American Graphic Art (New York, 1912).
