Modern etchings, mezzotints and dry-points
Modern etchings, mezzotints and dry-points is a 1913 London and New York survey of printmaking edited for The Studio by Charles Holme, Malcolm Salaman, E. A. Taylor and Ph. Zilcken, aimed at collectors and art students. Its plates are reproduced single to a page with captions, showing urban street scenes, harbour and sea views, interiors with crowds, and night-dark scenes. A designer can take from them the tonal range of fine line work, where dense hatching builds shadow and sparse strokes suggest light on water and stone.
