Book Description
Excerpt from Modern Etching and Engraving An editor, when reviewing an important work which has just been brought to completion under his guidance, cannot but be sensible of the disparity existing between a thing sketched out vividly in projects - in "enchanted cigarettes" as Balzac called unrealised schemes; for in books, as in all other works of art, many unexpected difficulties and disappointments interpose between conception and execution, limiting the scope of the aim in view, and lowering, more or less, the quality of craftsmanship. The fact that several modern workers of repute are unrepresented amongst the illustrations is one cause of regret; the large but unavoidable reduction in size of many of the illustrations is another; also it is felt that the absence of the raised line of the original plates causes a loss of distinction in the half-tone plates, which no amount of care in the selection of paper and in the printing could entirely remedy. There are, however, other sides of the question in the light of which the very faults of the volume become virtues; and, in spite of inevitable shortcomings, the hope is entertained that the publication will add something to the general knowledge of the subject of etching and will give an impetus to the revival of interest in one of the most delightful and personal forms of artistic expression. The Editor, having received much valued sympathy and help from many quarters, desires to express his cordial thanks to his foreign correspondents, to the artist-contributors, and also to the various publishers who have sanctioned the reproduction of copyright etchings, especially to Mr. C. Klackner and Mr. Frederick Keppel of New York and London, Mr. R. Gutekunst of London, Messrs. Frost and Reed of Bristol, M. E. Sagot, M. C. Hessele and M. Andre Marty of Paris, and Messrs. Amsler and Ruthardt of Berlin. The American Section owes much to Mr. J. M. Bowles, of New York, and to the historical notes supplied by Mr. Louis A. Holman, of Boston.
