This intaglio etching also used the Chine colle technique to add color to the print via the use of mulberry bark paper treated with methyl cellulose.

This image depicts a small church in the Italian village of Lama dei Peligni, which is located in the Province of Abruzzo, east of Rome on the Adriatic Coast in central Italy.
