Excerpt from How Prints Are Made
This is practically etching. The ground is of a sandy nature, which leaves minute interstices through which the acid may penetrate. The acid is laid on with a brush, as if the artist were making a wash-drawing. When the ground is removed and the plate printed from, the result is a print which gives the appearance of a drawing made upon the paper with a brush and ink.
