Excerpt from American Etchers Another fact which has struck me most favorably is that as a rule our men show a very just instinct in the choice of their material. There is no kind Of material, scarcely an effect of any sort, which may not be attempted with success in etching, - which has not been successfully interpreted by the great men of one day or of another. But it is nevertheless true, with this art as with all others, that certain things are by nature best adapted to its use. From the description of the process it will be felt that it must work most easily and surely upon things which can be expressed by few and powerful lines and simple tonic schemes. Form and color are its strongholds strength and directness its great virtues and, as Charles Blanc says, It is attracted most by everything that is irregular, bizarre, incomplete, unexpected, disordered, or in ruin. And with these requirements our etchers seem to be in unison. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
