VINTAGE PARIS ETCHING SOCIETY PRINT SIGNED BY PIERRE 9 inches x 7 inches Vintage Paris Etching Society Print No. 205 Signed by Pierre As is noted this piece is an etching, which means that it was created either by cutting lines into a metal plate with some sort of stylus or by using acid to corrode the metal plate in certain areas to form a design. After this was done, the plate was inked and pressed against a sheet of paper in a hand press. These etchings were originally done in black, but color was added later either by hand painting with watercolors or by overlaying color in a second printing. How many actual prints were made is unknown, but generally numbers ran in the 350 to 500 range. Print image area measures approx. 9 inches x 7 inches.
