How should I hang my framed prints?

Keep them away from direct sunlight to protect the ink and paper from fading over time. Ensure the room humidity remains stable to prevent warping in the wood frames.

Are these prints original period works?

The inventory includes items originating from the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries alongside early twentieth-century examples. Each listing specifies the period tied to the creation of the piece.

What is a drypoint etching?

Drypoint is a printmaking variation where the artist scratches the image directly into the plate without acid. This method leaves a distinctive velvety burr of metal that holds extra ink during printing.

How do I identify eighteenth-century engravings?

Eighteenth-century works often focus on classical antiquity, such as the architecture of Athens or the Vatican Loggie. Look for the paper texture and plate marks characteristic of hand-operated printing presses from that era.
