MEZZOTINT from A. Pages -1851
This 165 year old Antique Mezzotint Print is by Sixdeniers from a painting by A. Pages in London in 1851. It was published by Moss & Co..
BACKGROUND
The Mezzotint (also called "La Maniere Anglaise") is regarded as the noblest of prints and it expesses very fine tone and texture in the monochrome. The printing method is extinct as the difficulty and cost to produce a Mezzo-tint print was very high.
Proof - A proof is an impression of vintage prints pulled prior to the regular, published edition of the prints. A trial or working proof is one taken before the design on the matrix is finished. These proofs are pulled so that the artist can see what work still needs to be done to the matrix
