Paintings and works of art were often etched in order to create an acceptable reproduction to bind in a book and share with the global art market, either indicating a work for sale or an up and coming artist. The etching we offer is an original vintage print - not a modern reproduction.

 (Etching is the process of using strong acid to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design in intaglio in the metal . As an intaglio method of printmaking it is, along with engraving, the most important technique for old master prints, and remains widely used today)
