ENGRAVINGS |
 |
The advent of engraving
is slightly anterior to 1497, date of the first known engraving of Dürer.
In France, it's in 1660, that Colbert, by an edict of Louis XIV, made the
engravings entered in the King's cabinet.
Since five centuries, the technical is remained the same one, always so exacting.
An Art, which, with the numerous handlings it requires and the infinite time
demanded, seems not very adapted at times lived under sign of speed.
