Résumé :
Excerpt from The Graphic Arts: A Treatise on the Varieties of Drawing, Painting, and Engraving in Comparison With Each Other and With Nature Principles of transparence or opacity all engraving whatever is founded upon line or mass. All the graphic arts together are founded either upon naturalism or some kind of conventionalism, and by the time we have studied them enough to recognise old friends with new faces we are constantly meeting with principles long ago familiar.
