Excerpt from Etching Etchers
It is necessary to give a few words of explanation about the plates. The book was originally illustrated with impres sions from original old and modern coppers which were got together temporarily by dint of good luck, considerable ex pense, and infinite personal trouble. It was impossible to purchase them, and when we had printed the number of copies necessary for our first edition, we were obliged by our contract.
