Landscape

by Philip Gilbert Hamerton
London: Seeley and Co.; 1885

Original etchings, engravings, and photogravures over 135 years old.

(Chine collé method: Chine refers to thin tissue paper, traditionally imported from China, Japan and India. Collé refers to the glue or paste used to attach this thin tissue to heavier Western-made plate paper.
The smooth surface of the Oriental tissue papers accepts finer printing detail than the more coarsely textured plate papers. Tissue papers are, however, quite weak. Pasting them to thicker paper gives them strength and stability.)

Sheet size: approximately 10 x 14 inches (approx. 25 x 35.5 cm).
Image size varies (noted below thumbnail image)
