Pennell, J: Etchers and Etching -

Résumé :
Excerpt from Etchers and Etching: Chapters in the History of the Art, Together With Technical Explanations of Modern Artistic Methods

Everything about making an etching can be learned from an etcher in a morning but it will take the student all his life to put his learning into practice and even then he will almost certainly fail to become an etcher; though he can easily become a successful manufacturer of commercial copper plates, commercial states, commercial catalogues, and, the end of all, a commercial success.
