Book excerpt: In traditional pure etching, a metal (usually copper, zinc or steel) plate is covered with a waxy ground which is resistant to acid. The artist then scratches off the ground with a pointed etching needle where he or she wants a line to appear in the finished piece, so exposing the bare metal. The échoppe, a tool with a slanted oval section, is also used for "swelling" lines. The plate is then dipped in a bath of acid, technically called the mordant (French for "biting") or etchant, or has acid washed over it. The acid "bites" into the metal (it reacts with it in a Redox reaction) to a depth depending on time and acid strength, leaving behind the drawing skillfully carved into the wax on the plate. The remaining ground is then cleaned off the plate. For first and renewed uses the plate is inked in any chosen non-corrosive ink all over and the surface ink drained and wiped clean, leaving ink in the etched forms. The plate is then put through a high-pressure printing press together with a sheet of paper (often moistened to soften it). The paper picks up the ink from the etched lines, making a print.Today George Elbert Burr is widely considered to be one of the finest of the early 20th-century American etchers. His prints are in a number of prominent collections including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the British Museum, the French National Print Collection, Luxembourg Gallery, Victoria and Albert Museum, the New York Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, Museum of Northern Arizona, and the Congressional Library in Washington, D.C. Burr was born in Munroe Falls, Ohio, and moved with his family to Cameron Missouri when he was 10 years old, where his father opened a hardware store. Having been tutored by his mother, Burr left to study at the Chicago Academy of Design in December 1878, but returned home in April 1879 for good; it would be his only formal training. Burr worked at his father's store, yet never abandoned his art. He enjoyed success early, providing illustrations for Harper's, Scribner's Magazine, Frank Leslies Weekly and The Cosmopolitan. In 1892, he began a four-year project illustrating a catalog of Herbert R. Bishop's collection of jade antiquities for the Metropolitan Museum of Art This project, producing etchings of over a thousand artifacts, paid well enough for Burr to embark on an extended tour of Europe upon its completion with his wife. Over the next five years, as they traveled in Italy, Germany, and the British Isles, Burr amassed sketches and watercolors that would provide the source material for his copper plate etchings of European scenes. A few years after his return to America, an attack of the flu prompted Burr to move to Denver for the benefit of his health. It was there, during summers spent in a cabin studio in a steep wooded canyon with panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains, that Burr began to concentrate on the work that made him famous. In 1910, he built a brick house and studio at 1325 Logan Street in Denver. The building was purchased by the Woman's Press Club, which continues to own and operate it as a clubhouse. In 1924, the Burrs settled in Phoenix, Arizona, where he would remain for the rest of his life. The change of scenery gave him the opportunity to round out his oeuvre of Western landscapes with expansive views of the Sonoran and Mojave deserts. He and his wife, who died in 1941, are buried in Cameron.
