DESCRIPTION:  This jigsaw puzzle of a country house reflects the process of etching. Etchings are created by painting a copper or zinc plate with acid resistant asphaltum, then etching the chosen design, in a reversed mirror-image, through the hardened coating with a sharp stylus. The plate is then immersed in a bath of appropriate acid which eats into the exposed metal creating tiny groves. The coating is removed, the plate is inked and cleaned, and the image printed onto damp paper using an etching press. Each individual print is then tinted by hand, using watercolors, giving them a distinctive and colorful flair.
