The Relative Claims Of Etching And Engraving To Rank As Fine Arts, And To Be Presented As Such In The Royal Academy Of Arts (1883)

""The Relative Claims of Etching and Engraving to Rank as Fine Arts, and to be Presented as Such in the Royal Academy of Arts"" is a book written by Francis Seymour Haden in 1883. The book is a critical analysis of the two printing techniques, etching and engraving, and their place in the art world. Haden, a respected artist and printmaker, argues that etching should be considered a fine art on par with engraving and should be given equal recognition in the Royal Academy of Arts. He provides a detailed examination of the technical aspects of both techniques and their historical development, as well as their aesthetic qualities. The book also includes illustrations of prints by various artists to support Haden's arguments. Overall, ""The Relative Claims of Etching and Engraving to Rank as Fine Arts"" is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate over the status of etching as a fine art form.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
