Book Fine Prints  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Fine Prints Classic Reprint written by Frederick Wedmore and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fine Prints The study of engravings, ancient and modern - of woodcuts, line engravings, etchings, mezzotints - has become by this time extremely elaborate and immensely complicated. Most people know nothing of it, and do not even realise that behind all their ignorance there is a world of learning and of pleasure, some part of which at least might be theirs if they would but enter on the land and seek to possess it. Few men, even of those who address themselves to the task, acquire swiftly any substantial knowledge of more than one or two depart ments of the study; though the ideal collector, and I would even say the reasonable one, whatever he may actually own, is able, sooner or later, to take a survey of the larger ground - his eye may range intelligently over fields he has no thought of annexing. From this it will be concluded - and concluded rightly - that the print-collector must be a specialist, more or less. More or less, at least at the beginning, must he address himself with particular care to one branch of the study. And which is it to be? The number of fine Schools of Etching and Engraving is really so considerable that the choice may well be his own. This or that master, this or that period, this or that method, he may select with freedom, and will scarcely go wrong. But the mention of it brings one.

But the few examples sold to Dutch merchants at the end of the eighteenth century seem entirely to have escaped the notice of the Old writers on the art Of engraving, or to have been so strongly in opposition to the principles of their faith as to be deliberately ignored. It was not until the second half of the nineteenth century was well advanced that certain artists - among whom it will suffice to name Degas and Monet - possessing Specimens, were not slow to appreciate their charm and even to bow, in a measure, to their influence.

Book Etching  Engraving and the Other Methods of Printing Pictures  Classic Reprint

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Etching, Engraving and the Other Methods of Printing Pictures The object of this book is to try to help the reader to attain a double end. It will tell him all about the different methods of engraving, etc., noting their invention, ex plaining their process, and enabling him hereafter to recognise at sight whatever manner of print he may have placed before him. Few people will guess how much this knowledge, that seems rather exoteric when once acquired, will help towards a ready appreciation of prints and a growing interest in them. Furthermore, the attempt will be made, at least in a small degree, to offer an aesthe tic guide - that is, to indicate what really are the beauties proper to black-and-white art, and in what manner we can reap most enjoyment from them.
