How are Audubon prints made?
1 Answer
Audubon prints are made from copper plates using the “intaglio” process, which includes engraving, etching, aquatint and drypoint. Intaglio is a printmaking process where an image is etched onto the surface of a plate. Ink is applied and removed, leaving ink only in the grooves to create a stamp-like effect.
