The Art of Scraperboard Engraving

London England: B. T. Batsford, 1988. Hardback. First Edition. Slight shelf wear to edge of D/J. Price clipped to D/J. Starting with the history of the medium, the author describes and illustrates the various tools and materials involved in scraperboard, and the different techniques to be learned. Although generally associated with reproduction in black and white, the exciting possibilities in combination with pure colour and subtle mixtures of colours with black are explained by the author who, through her own experiements, has achieved a unique style. Different techniques, the effects achieved by using varied tools on black, white and textured boards as well as the employment of copper and silver foil are described, accompanied by step-by-step illustrations and finished examples. Since scraperboard has wide-ranging applications, its use in books, magazines and advertising is discussed and demonstrated, in addition to the purely artistic merits of scraperboard. The content of this book is equally suitable for the adventurous amateur and the established professional. 7 colour photographs. 170 black and white illustrations. 152 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
