A treatise on etching
Maxime Lalanne's technical manual on etching, translated by S. R. Koehler and published in Boston by Dana Estes and Co. in 1880 for artists and printmakers learning the craft. Plates pair finished landscape etchings—ruins, willows by water, harbor clutter—with demonstration sheets of graded hatching, carving details and furniture studies, offering line textures and tonal ramps ready for reuse as fills.
