of Urizen copy D, plate 1. Relief etching, 14.9 x 10.3 cm.,
etched 1794, color printed and finished in watercolors 1794. British
Museum. Detail showing that the texture of colors applied to the
paper (the brush marks defining the edges of the knees) is smooth
while the texture of printed colors is reticulated. Ink mixes with
the colors printed on top of it, but opaque colors applied to the
impression cover the ink more thoroughly than colors printed with
and over the ink. |
