About This Item
A note on the Prints: "The print medium employed in this book is relatively new and only partially explored. It relates to all the other intaglio mediums such as etching, drypoint, aquatint and engraving. The essential difference between it and the other mediums is that the plate is both built up (using a variety of polymer glues and aggregates) and incised, thus arriving at a very right and varied texture and embossment. The plate is produced in much the same way as a collage, which is suggested by its name, collograph-intaglio. In some instances the prints in color were produced by using two plates but for the most part they were inked and wiped in one color and then rolled with another color. As is true of all intaglio mediums it is less easily controlled than relief mediums such as wood-engraving or wood-cut. In compensation it has an enormous range and seems peculiarly suited to a person whose bent and training is that of a painter.
