Thank you so very much , I have collected antique black and white for many years. Can you tell me where I can look up some of the art. Best Regards Joan
I just bought a framed art piece that says Boucher on one side and Demarteau on the other. #215. It's in a gold frame and has paper on back so I can't open it up. Where can I learn more about it?
Hello, Bruce, I just bought different imprints by Gustave Doré, how do I tell which ones are more valuable than the others? Since some of them seem to be made with different techniques and paper.
And how can you tell the difference between a lithograph and an etching with a magnifying glass, I understand pressure marks from the plate but what's the difference on the image thanks ...
Etchings usually possess the plate mark shown in the video. Also the transfer of ink to paper in lithography generally yields a less sculptural impression than in intaglio (etching) printing. Because etching plates hold ink at different depths rather than sitting planographically like in a lithograph, the way the ink sits on the paper can vary greatly in dimension. Both processes however are extremely versatile and are capable of making a vast array of marks.
EXCELLENT AND EXTREMELY INTERESTING VIDEO.I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON THE SUBJECT OF ART. I HAVE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL PICTURES , LITOH'S..? GLITEREE'S AND JUST HAND SIGHED POSTERS FROM AN ARTIST. GLICEE...I BELIEVE MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE WORD'S I MISSPELLED. I LOVE THE ART TOPIC. THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND LEARNING ME THAT A PIECE LIKE THAT IS INKED BACKWARDS. TRULY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.🌞
I have an old world map engraving ai believe but has what looks to be plate marks, it has the lines just like the one shown in the video. I have no idea where to go and have someone look at it where I live the map is titled Nova totius Terrarum Orbis Tabula If anybody could give me pointers on what to do with it that would be appreciated
Probably an engraving in metal such as copper or zinc (probably copper). This video doesn't explain that prints with plate marks like shown are almost always 'intaglio' prints which can be etchings, but can also be engravings were the lines in the plate have been directly carved by a tool. In printmaking, engraving generally refers to two processes; one is as described previously and is a metal engraving, and the other is a wood engraving printed like a relief (i.e. woodcut/linocut) print.
THE WORD IS PRONOUNED "PRIMMER"! not.. "Pry mer" !! Though the words are identical (primer), one is an undercoat for wood, the other is an instruction and is pronounced "prim mer"! (think "prim and proper"!!! I can't believe a professional has made this mistake.... smh
Thanks for a simple description that helps me understand, in general, what I am looking at when I'm trying to identify and define an antique "print"!

I've been looking at a rendition of "Caniche" by Jean-Baptiste Oudry and wondering if there's such a thing as an etching of an engraving?
Thank you very inforamative
Very helpful, thanks.

Good advice.

I've asked this same question to people that have been involved in antiques and fine art and they don't seem to really know.
Etchings usually possess the plate mark shown in the video. Also the transfer of ink to paper in lithography generally yields a less sculptural impression than in intaglio (etching) printing. Because etching plates hold ink at different depths rather than sitting planographically like in a lithograph, the way the ink sits on the paper can vary greatly in dimension. Both processes however are extremely versatile and are capable of making a vast array of marks.
Hello, I would like to ask you to identify this image if possible.
Awesome !

wrong, it's an aquatint (etching) vs. line etching, but you better find yourself higher definition footage for this anyway...
Has anyone ever heard of J.S. Muller?
