Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Pen Drawings: European and American
Britirb before practical success was achieved; and France was the winner, after all - for it was in 1848 that M. Gillot, the lithographer of Paris, began mechanical etching, or, as he called it, gravure panéconographique. Though fifty years have gone since then, Gillot 3 method remains in its essentials perfect for the reproduction of pen - and - ink work, for, as an expert has recently put it, the results obtained then were equal to those of the present day.
