Etching
495x330cm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Imagine coating a copper plate thinly with wax, then blackening the wax with the smoke of lighted tapers, taking a metal point with a wooden handle and drawing on the black surface to reveal gleaming traces of the copper beneath. That\u2019s the first step in making an etching. Child\u2019s play, isn\u2019t it? Next, if you protect the back of the plate with varnish and lower it into a shallow tray of acid, the chemical will bite into your drawn lines to create grooves. To make a print the plate must first be lifted from the tray, rinsed and dried; and then the grooves must be filled with ink. You are about to make an <\/span>intaglio<\/i> print. That is, one that lifts ink from the crevices of a surface rather than (as in the case of linocuts or woodcuts) from the surface itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ink, of thick consistency, is applied all over the plate\u2019s surface with a \u2018dabber\u2019 (or, these days, a roller). The ink is then wiped off with a pad of scrim (an open-weave fabric) and this action not only cleans the surface but, at the same time, charges all the furrows, grooves and pits of the plate with ink. A skilled printer then uses the palm of a bare hand, lightly dusted with chalk, to complete the wiping; and can do this to different degrees so as to leave subtle variations of tone \u2013 delicate veils of ink \u2013 here and there on the plate\u2019s surface. Still more can be done to complete the effect: a loose pad of fine cotton fabric may be dragged loosely over ink-filled lines to soften and enrich these areas. So, no two impressions from the same plate can ever be exactly identical; thus each is an original print.<\/p>\n

Finally, the inked plate is laid on the bed of a rolling-press. This is a basically simple machine resembling the old-fashioned clothes wringer: a flat surface (the bed) running between two rollers and passing back and forth with the aid of a handle fixed to the end of, usually, the top roller.<\/p>\n

A sheet of paper (damped previously so that it will be flexible enough to be pressed into the grooves and pick up the ink) is laid on the plate and on top of this three or four layers of resilient woollen \u2018blankets\u2019 to provide the correct pressure; and the whole \u2018sandwich\u2019 is passed through the rollers to create the finished print \u2013 an original\u00a0etching.<\/p>\n
