FAQs

A mezzotint is a tonal printmaking method developed in the seventeenth century that allows for subtle tonal shading without line hatching, favoured for reproducing oil portrait paintings.

These prints were created using copper plates roughened with a rocker tool, inked, and printed onto handmade rag paper using a rolling press.

Authentic mezzotints feature rich, soft velvety tones, clear plate indentation lines around the image, and printed publication details along the lower margin.

Historical portrait prints can be styled as part of a curated gallery wall, positioned above a sideboard, or set against dark panelled walls in a study.

Paper prints require framing behind UV-filtering glass with acid-free mounts and should be kept away from direct sunlight and damp environments to prevent discolouration.
