Four masters of etching
Four masters of etching is an 1883 London art book by critic Frederick Wedmore, published by The Fine Art Society, that surveys four etchers: Haden, Jacquemart, Whistler and Legros. The pictures are fine-line etched plates of a tall riverside or town view, a sketchy street scene signed by its maker, a bearded portrait head, and a page of Japanese-style porcelain bowls and cups, showing a designer how loose hatching and dense blacks can build tone and texture.
