ARTIST BIO:
Juengling was born in Leipzig, Germany. He obtained a common school education until the age of 14 in Leipzig. Juengling then worked as an apprentice to an engraver in Berlin before emigrating to the United States in 1866.

He studied painting at the Art Students' League in New York City, adopted art as a profession, and attained much recognition as a wood engraver. He was a founder of the American Society of Wood Engravers, its first secretary 1881-1882, and was vice-president of the Art Students' League 1882-1883. He received honorable mention at the Paris Salon in 1881, and a second-class medal at an international exhibition of fine arts held in Munich in 1883. He taught engravers in his own studio.
