I employed one zinc plate for this etching, which measured 8 inches wide by 10 inches high, or 20.320cm by 25.400cm. The plate required seven workings in six Nitric acid baths. The studio techniques I used included aquatint, intaglio, and drypoint. Media included a blend of oil base, French etching inks on US made Stonehenge black paper. I hand printed and published this edition of five works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at The Center for Works on Paper. I used a large freestanding CHARLES BRAND model floor press whose bed is about 40 inches by sixty inches. This is the Third of Four Editions. A sturdy cardboard box is employed for shipping the work.
