Etching, Engraving and the Other Methods of Printing Pictures (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Etching, Engraving and the Other Methods of Printing Pictures
The object of this book is to try to help the reader to attain a double end. It will tell him all about the different methods of engraving, etc., noting their invention, ex plaining their process, and enabling him hereafter to recognise at sight whatever manner of print he may have placed before him. Few people will guess how much this knowledge, that seems rather exoteric when once acquired, will help towards a ready appreciation of prints and a growing interest in them. Furthermore, the attempt will be made, at least in a small degree, to offer an aesthe tic guide - that is, to indicate what really are the beauties proper to black-and-white art, and in what manner we can reap most enjoyment from them.
