Antique Botanical Prints
from "Transactions Ca 1820. Here we witness one of the first attempts using a steel plate instead of a copper plate for printing fine quality botanical prints. First used in England about 1820 it soon replaced the "soft" copper material. These astonishingly fine steel aquatints show how much diligence and artistic attention the new medium received by the artists experimenting with it. After all they were expected to show that the copper plate could indeed be replaced. Decorative prints from some of the most qualified botanical artists of the time. Sale!
