Etching Its Principles And Practice

Excerpt from Etching, Its Principles and Practice: A Book for Students and Amateurs This little book is intended, as set forth in the title, for Students and amateurs; it will be found to inculcate a definite and limited range of effort in the early attempts of the student; some of these directions and limitations, may appear to the Skilled etcher, useless and even trivial. It must, however, be remembered that numbers of people practise art with a genuine love for it, and an earnest desire to follow its best traditions, who cannot, from circumstances, advance to the study of a special form of art, through that wide portal of general study and practice necessary to the professional artist. To those unable to give a life's devotion to, but who are not innocent of some preliminary training in art, the author thinks this work may be of service should they be desirous of acquiring the art of etching.
