Excerpt from American Etchers The term etching has a definite and limited significance too often disregarded in popular speech. Its maltreatment seems the more inexcusable when we remember that it is not a word originally wider in meaning which has been narrowed by the custom of the studio into limited technical applicability; but that its etymological, dictionary force is at one with its employment in artistic parlance. And as it denotes not an effect but a process, there should not be the least confusion with regard to it. Even if it were possible - as it is not - to produce identical effects by other methods, no work so produced could be called etched work. To etch comes from the same root as to eat, the Greek eòw. Only such prints as are made from plates that have been acted upon by acid - bitten into, eaten away - are to be named etchings. To produce a print of this kind, the artist takes a plate - usually of copper, though sometimes of zinc - and coats it with a preparation formed of wax and other ingredients. Upon this "ground," after it has been blackened with smoke so that his strokes will show more clearly, he draws his subject with a sharp-pointed instrument called a "needle" or "point," using just sufficient pressure to remove the ground along the line of his strokes without scratching the metal underneath. The plate is then immersed in a shallow pan of acid called a "bath." This acid, or "mordant," acts upon the uncovered portions of the plate - upon the artists lines, that is - but has no effect upon the portions still protected by the ground. When the "biting" is accomplished, the plate is cleaned, inked and printed on a roller-press. This is the bald theory of etching; but its practice is a much more complicated affair than might be thought.

Excerpt from Etching in America: With List of American Etchers and Notable Collections of Prints There are histories of American painting and engraving, but Etching in America is the first book devoted to this branch of. Our art. As a history, it records the subserviency of etching in the hands of our early engraver etchers, and the various influences leading to the late emancipation of etching as an art. There is included, my introduction to Recent American Etchings, published last year by the publishers of this volume. But, aside from mere historical narration, it has seemed essen tial that something should be said against a style of etching which, while retrogressive in methods and commercial in motive, yet meets with a certain degree of popular favor. On the other hand, I have tried to do full jus tice to our artist etchers, and by the citation of examples I have hoped to direct a larger share of public attention to the consideration.
