Johann Steiner is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Johann Steiner made late-18th-century prints, etching crisp lines onto copper plates and pressing them onto paper. One of their prints, H Beard Print Collection, shows a side-profile face with careful hatching and a small, clean border. The style belongs to the stiff, measured prints that filled European almanacs and trade cards before photography arrived.
