Description:"Recent developments in print-making and the revival of print-selling indicate the growing importance of this field in the art world and there has been need of a new book covering recently developed etching and engraving techniques...[Hayter's] book is addressed primarily to the general reader and collector of prints: it covers the whole field and his options are clear, up to date, and at times controversial. He describes the various techniques of woodcutting and engraving, etching, silk-screen printing, lithography, methods of printing and the different kinds of prints that result- and how the amateur collector may learn to distinguish the varying degrees between originals and reproductions. Other chapters deal with print-makers, dealers, and buyers, and how prints are published and distributed." --from dust-jacket. Includes index and bibliographic references.
