This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...-for the most part in sepia,3 etched the main outlines in vigorous line,4 and then put the plate in the hands of some mezzotint engraver to finish the subject by the aid of his drawing and under his supervision. Turner originally intended to include ioo plates in the work, but only 71 were published,5 some 20 more plates being engraved or partially finished. F. C. Lewis finished the first plate (R. 43) in aquatint, but this was his only plate, and Turner inclined thenceforward to the use of mezzotint, though aquatint is not infrequently found in combination.
