coppERplATE ENGRAVING.
The Art Was Discovered Through shs
 Nerest Accident

Every one has noticed on his visiting card the extremely delicate lines of his nasne. end almost every one knows that they are produced by printing from an engraved copperplate. Like many other things of use and beauty. this art of coppefpiate engraving was discovered through the merest scCtv dent by the goldsmiths of Florence h the fifteenth century.
 1t Is historical fact. however, that one day an engraver on gold, wishing to take proof of his work. made the usual sulphur cast and then hlled up the lines with ltmpblack. thus ena. bling him to see exactly how his work looked While occupied In doing this it occurred to him that possibly the same results could be obtained by fili- ing up the original engraving with lampblack instead of making an I'm. pressson of It and filling ID that Struck with the Idea. he put lt Into practical use and. with little damp papcr, succeeded in getting 2 fair i'm pression from the engraving
 Tho discovery vFas communicated to other workers in the art, and they hailed it with Ioy. as it saved all tine ariuous trouble of making sulphur casts, bnt they. never saw the full value of the discovery. and consequent ly the art oF plate engraving lay for almost century before Us true I'm. port was discovered and brought out In all It's great apd beautiful results.
 Today collectors Of plate engrarings rave over the crude results of earlier times and search the world for exam ples of these early masters to add to their collections. Many of these col lections have been presented to mu- seums. where they may he seen and appreciated by the people.
