Excerpt from Mezzotinto Engraving: A Paper Read Before the Sette of Odd Volumes at Willis's Rooms on March 4th, 1887 Mezzotinto Engraving, in its purest form, may be said to have died in this country in the forepart of the present century, with the early work of Samuel Cousins, while its renascence, the work, in the first instance, of Seymour Haden, is still in course of accomplishment by Frank Short, Joseph Knight, J. Aumonier, and other able workers in this fascinating field. Duly to appraise this beautiful process, slightly to sketch its history, and earnestly to advocate its more complete revival under best and purest forms, is the object of the writer, whose admiration for the Mezzotinter's Art must plead his excuse for venturing to advocate a cause he loves with an unaccustomed pen.
