Fine prints
Fine prints by Frederick Wedmore, published in Edinburgh by J. Grant in 1910, is a survey of engraving and etching for collectors and connoisseurs of prints. The pictures are reproductions of etchings and engravings in varied modes: a rotated landscape with trees and figures, a riverside view of a city quay, a Paris street scene with a stone embankment and tall houses, and a set of swirling, tumbling figures. A designer might take from them the tonal range of line work, with dense hatching for shadow and open paper for light, and the compositional use of diagonal streets and quays.
