About this book
A Treatise on Etching, with text and plates by Maxime Lalanne, is an authorized edition translated from the second French edition by S. R. Koehler. A quotation by P. G. Hamerton says Claude is the best landscape etcher of past days among Frenchmen, and Lalanne the best of the present day. The Introductory Chapter, The Technical Elements of Etching, says it has been added to enable the beginner to master the most necessary technical elements of etching. The contents list, among others, The Roulette, The Flat Point, The Graver or Burin, Sandpaper and Sulphur Tints under Recommendations and Auxiliary Processes.
A section on retouching says ordinary etching-ground does not show the work previously done as well as the transparent ground, but the later additions are seen all the better on it. A passage on paper says dry paper will not take a decent impression, and the sheets to be used for printing must therefore be moistened.
