How Etching Is Done

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS BY WHICH THESE
BEAUTIFUL ENGRAyIsGS ARE MADE.
From the Philadelphia Times.
few weeks ago, in an article on bank notes
we gave a description OF what is known as plate
engraving. and We propose now to tell you some
thing about another process which has att aimed
much prominence. You have all noticed the ex-
qulslte etchlngs which the picture stores are dis
playing, and while you may not be competent TO
judge OF their merits from a standpoint OF "high
art" you never fail TO admire their softness Of
tone and beauty OF effect. They are more sought
process by which they made consists OF an
employment OF both tools and a kind OF acid A
copper plate Is vanished over with a thin coat OF
wax and asphaltun. When IL Is dry the etcher
points OF different sizes set into handles He cuts
all tue lines OF his drawing through the coating
down 10 the copper plate.
When the drawing Is finished a little rim OF wax
IS put all around the edge OF the plate ana weak
nitric acid, mixed with water, Is poured over the
face OF the drawing The acid eats into the copper
wherever IL is exposed by the lines OF the drawing
but has no effect upon those parts covered by the
yarnish. In about fifteen minutes the acid is
poured on and the plate cleaned, the varnish being
melted on. The plate Is then ready TO be printed
from.
To understand how the printing Is done Won
must remember that the lines on the plate are all
s0bken and not raised, like type The Ink is spread
all over the plate and then rubbed on with cloth
90 the printing. The process Is much slower than
printing from type.
sun another kind OF engraving is the mezzotint.
and the manner OF making that Is not without In
OF plate engraving from the fact that the plate it.
self makes the dark parts OF the picture and the
light parts are cut out. The surface OF the plate
Is INST made rough By running over IL a little In
strument with teeth. The engraver then uses
scrapers and burnishers to rub away the rough
surface In places, and thus makes the picture.
