NS Vintage Framed Aquatint
This beautiful Vintage Aquatint is by William Danielle 1769- 1837
The original hangs in the Tate Museum in England.
William Danielle's aquatint, A Voyage Round Great Britain was the most ambitious of the many topographical publications produced in England during the early nineteenth century and its plates are a highpoint in the history of aquatint engraving. The work comprised of 308 aquatints, engraved by Danielle himself and hand-colored through the agency of William Timms.
Like etching, aquatint uses the application of a mordant (acid) to etch into the metal plate. Where etchings use a needle to scratch through an acid-proof resist and make lines, aquatints use powdered rosin (resin) to create a tonal effect.
