Engravers and etchers : six lectures delivered on the Scammon Foundation at the Art Institute of Chicago, March 1916
A 1917 lecture series by Fitz Roy Carrington, delivered at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1916, surveying the history of engraving and etching for a general art audience. The four pictures are cropped reproductions of old engravings showing a skeleton with a figure, a crowded medieval street scene, a Virgin and angel garden, and a bust of a crowned woman. A designer might take from them the dense hatching, cross-hatched shading, and crowded compositions typical of early printmaking.
