Printmaking: the Various Engraving Techniques Published on L'atelier Canson (https://www.lateliercanson.com) Accueil > Printmaking: the various engraving techniques Retour à la liste d'articles [1] Printmaking: the various engraving techniques [2] Notions de base [5] Notez cet article Give Printmaking: the ? various engraving techniques 3/5 Taux Author : Charlotte Reine Engraving is a technique that consists of making carvings on a metal plate with a tool or a mordant (an acid). This plate will be inked then wiped and put under the press. The term engraving is used when it is printed on paper. It can be recognised thanks to the hollow imprint left on the paper by the pressure exerted by the press during printing. 1. Direct engraving This is done manually using a tool that carves directly into the metal. It can be done using a drypoint, a burin, a rocker, a scraper and a burnisher [6]. Drypoint refers to both a tool and the engraving process. Its result is called ?intaglio?.. The mezzotint technique (uniform graining of the plat in the form of small holes thanks to a tool called the rocker) enables dead black printing. The velvety aspect of the blacks and the softness of the grey values are specific to the mezzotint technique, which, like the burin technique, requires tremendous skill and a lot of experience. 2. Etching Etching is an engraving technique that uses nitric acid to bite into the metal plate. Ferric chloride, which is less toxic, can also be used. According to the result desired, various techniques exist to protect the metal, leaving the parts for biting exposed. The main techniques: Hard varnish engraving: hard varnish is a technique used on metal, often copper, for intaglio printing. The plate is covered with a protective varnish; a point is used to create an image on the metal, leaving the copper exposed. Once the image is completed, the metal plate is submerged in a tray of acid or ferric chloride. This bites into the places on the metal where the varnish was removed; the longer the plate is left in the acid, the deeper the biting: the acid only attacks the places where the copper is not protected. The ink lodges in the grooves, it will appear on the paper after printing under the press. The white spaces are the parts protected by the varnish. Soft varnish: this process, also referred to as ?stipple engraving?, makes it possible to draw through a paper or fabric directly onto the varnish. After the acid bath, the biting resembles a graphite pencil drawing. Soft varnish can also be used to create material effects with plants or textiles. Aquatint: this process consists of covering a metal plate with a layer of rosin powder. After cooking, the grains of resin melt and stick to the plate. Biting takes place between all these tiny points that serve as white spaces. This process makes it possible to create a surface made up of points rather than lines with surfaces of varying values, according to the duration of the acid baths. Sugar-lift etching: this technique makes it possible to draw directly with a brush and a mixture of powdered sugar and Indian ink, either directly onto the plate or on an aquatint prepared for the acid bath. This is the design that will appear in black after printing. Lavender oil: this engraving technique consists of drawing with a brush (or a feather) dipped in lavender oil, directly on the varnish. The parts exposed by the lavender oil will be bitten in the acid bath and will create black spaces during inking.

  • Understanding the Past Through 18Th Century Prints Laura Pass Barry April 7, 2010
    A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: Understanding the Past through 18th Century Prints Laura Pass Barry April 7, 2010 Associate Curator of Prints, Maps, and Paintings at Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. s a print curator, I naturally use period graphics to help me to better understand the past.1 Prints A offer the visual detail to record color and pattern, context, and use of objects—information that can’t be found in other documents from the period. In the eighteenth century, prints were more than decorative hangings; they offered insight into fashion, consumer trends, social customs, and taste. In a time before photography, television, and the internet, engravings were the primary source for reproducing and distributing visual information, giving viewers access to people, places, and things from near and far as well as to contemporary and historical events only read about or imagined. Today, engravings complement written records such as probate inventories. Inventories provide insight into a property owner’s taste and document what household goods (such as furniture, textiles, paintings, ceramics and metals) were owned. But while they contain useful and detailed information about the size, type, and material of an object, they fail to include descriptions that tell us how and where to use these personal possessions. In the instance of this late eighteenth-century print (fig. 1), the inventory excluded the wallpaper and carpet, arguably the most elaborate furnishings in the room.2 Fig. 1 The Lover’s Disguise, published by Carington Bowles, London, 1792, black-and-white mezzotint engraving with period hand color. 108| Juniata Voices Because of this, we rely on prints to provide us with a visual link to our material past.

HE following are extracts from Mr. Hind's treatise upon Mezzotints, Stipples, Aquatints, etc., published in the British Museum "Guide to the Processes and Schools of En­ graving," printed in 1914: MEZZOTINT PROCESS "Mezzotint is a negative process, inasmuch as the engraver works at his design from a black ground to the high lights, not from a white ground to the black lines or shadows. The surface of the plate is first roughened all over in such a way that if it were filled with ink it would print a deep black. This roughening, or grounding, of the surface of the plate is generally obtained by the tool called the Rocker (see illustration), of which the essential feature is a curved, serrated edge with cutting teeth of thread smaller or larger (ranging from about 50-100 teeth to the inch), according to the quality of grain re­ quired. This tool is held with its grain at right angles to the plate, and the cutting edge rocked regularly over the surface of the plate at several angles, caus­ ing a uniform indentation of the plate, with a burr to each indentation.

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.

  • Xviiith Century English and French Prints in Colour : December, 1918
    XVIIITH Century English and French PRINTS COLOUR 1918 c*k\o*oe ^ XVIIITH CENTURY ENGLISH and FRENCH PRINTS in COLOUR GALLERIES OF M. KNOEDLER & CO. 556-558 Fifth Avenue December, 1918 INTRODUCTI O N PRINTING IN COLOR HE art of Printing in Color from an engraved metal plate passed through many phases and many years before it reached its final goal in the XVIIIth Century. Both France and England were tak­ ing great interest in its devel­ opment, both finally obtaining their objective, but in different ways. France being the first to arrive; we will endeavor to describe in a general way their method of procedure. Attention must be first drawn to the fact that their finest printing has been with aquatint-plates, employing three in their earlier printing, increasing the number as more colors were required. The three plates mentioned were for the three primary colors, Red, Blue, Yellow, superim­ posing one over another, where the combination would result in the sought-for color. This process was the invention of an artist named James Christo­ pher Le Blon, who, although of French extraction, was born at Frankfort-on-the-Main, May, 1667. He lived, as many of the artists did at that time, a wan­ dering life, receiving most of his training at Zurich. From there he journeyed to Rome, finally leaving 3 that city with a Dutch friend to live in Holland, set­ tling down there as a miniature painter at Amster­ dam in the early part of the XVIIIth Century. It was here that he learned about the Isaac Newton theory, that the variegated hues of the spectrum of white light are merely combinations of certain pri­ mary colors, which are simple and uncompounded, i.

  • British Library
    PROGRAMME Conference Details PRINTING COLOUR 1700-1830 Discoveries, Rediscoveries & Innovations in the Long 18th Century Eighteenth-century book and print cultures are considered to be black and white (with a little red). Colour-printed material, like William Blake's visionary books and French decorative art, is considered rare and exceptional. However, recent discoveries in archives, libraries and museums are revealing that bright inks were not extraordinary. Artistic and commercial possibilities were transformed between rapid technical advances around 1700 (when Johannes Teyler and Jacob Christoff Le Blon invented new colour printing techniques) and 1830 (when the Industrial Revolution mechanised printing and chromolithography was patented). These innovations added commercial value and didactic meaning to material including advertising, books, brocade paper, cartography, decorative art, fashion, fine art, illustrations, medicine, trade cards, scientific imagery, texts, textiles and wallpaper. The saturation of some markets with colour may have contributed to the conclusion that only black- and-white was suitable for fine books and artistic prints. As a result, this printed colour has been traditionally recorded only for well-known ‘rarities’. The rest remains largely invisible to scholarship. Thus, producers may be known as elite ‘artists’ in one field but prolific ‘mere illustrators’ in another, and antecedents of celebrated ‘experiments’ and ‘inventions’ are rarely acknowledged. When these artworks, books, domestic objects and ephemera are considered together, with the materials and techniques that enabled their production, the implications overturn assumptions from the historical humanities to conservation science. A new, interdisciplinary approach is now required. Following from Printing Colour 1400-1700, this conference will be the first interdisciplinary assessment of Western colour printmaking in the long eighteenth century, 1700–1830.
