This picture is a genuine "Metal Etching" imported from England. It is made directly on metal and bonded with artist's wax to a heavy backing using seven separate inks.
The image was hand etched by a master engraver onto an engraving block. The etching was then embossed in relief under fifty tons of pressure, creating tremendous depth and brilliance. The light reflecting at different angles makes the subject seem almost life-like giving a three dimensional effect.
With care this etching will be timeless. The metal etching changes appearance with the direction of light, keeping it forever new and interesting. It will, like a rainbow, never appear exactly the same way twice.
As with fine art, avoid extremes of heat, such as near radiators, in the direct rays of the sun or in a closed car on hot days.
