PS es How Etching is Done, DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS BY WHICH THESE BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS ARE MADE, om the Philadelphia Times. A few weeks ago, in an article on bank notes, we gave a description of what 1s known as plate engraving, aud we propose now to tell you some- thing about another process which has attained much prominence. You have all noticed the ex- quisite etchings which the picture stores are dis. playing, and while you may not be competent to Judge of their merits from a standpoint of “nigh art,” you never fall to admire their softness of tone and beauty of effect, They are more sought after now than any other kindof prin, The Process by which they are made consists of an ‘employment of both tools and a ktnd of acid. A copper plate i$ varnished over with a thin coat of Wax and asphaltum. When it is dry the etcher makes bis drawing on it with steel needles or poluts of different sizes set into handles. "He cuts all tue lines of bis drawing through the coating down to the copper plate. When the drawing is itshed a lttle rim of wax 4s put all around the edge of the plate and weak nitric acid, mixed With Water, ts poured over the face of the'drawing. ‘The acid eats into the Wherever it is exposed by the lines of the drawing, Dut has no effect upon those parts covered by the Varnisi. In about fifteen minutes the acid is poured Off and the plate cleaned, the varnish being melted off, ‘The plate is then ready to be print from. To understand how the printing 1s done you must remeber that the Lines on tie pings are of sunken and not raised, uke type.
