ART FOR THE COLLECTOR
ETCHINGS
Etchings are formed by the artist drawing onto a prepared plate which is then immersed in acid. Ink is applied to the plate and then wiped off it remains in the grooves and cavities. Under pressure in a press, the ink is transferred to a dampened paper, which also receives the "plate mark" common to all intaglio printse formed by the artist drawing onto a prepared plate which is then immersed in acid. Ink is applied to the plate and then wiped off it remains in the grooves and cavities.
