Description

A demonstration print that illustrates four intaglio techniques for comparison. The print is a collaborative effort by the married artists Adrienne Cullom and Sergio Gonzales-Tornero, done in 1964. The techniques are identified as the title; on the left: "Deep Etching / Burin Engraving" and on the right: "Line Etching / Drypoint."
