<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 71045, member: 56"]These look quite convincingly like drypoint intaglio prints, but they aren’t; they are reproductions. I might have seen that had I spent more time examining them in the store, but I didn’t, so I’m offering them to whoever wants them. They are good object lessons in reproduced graphic prints, and you can get an idea of what to look for in a drypoint, and they are attractive pictures – crisper than in the photos and suitable for framing. Both are by the same artist (I don’t know who) whose name appears in the lower right. I don’t know which church is shown, but the tower is the Peace Tower at the Canadian Parliament buildings in Ottawa.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both pieces of paper have faux plate impressions. On the church picture, it’s just an embossed outline (you won’t find that on a real print). On the tower picture it looks more like a real plate impression, but the image is offset – on one side it extends beyond the plate – impossible on a real print. Both prints show a very fine dot matrix, which I didn’t notice until I started looking at the photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>The church print measures about 10” by 7 ½”. The tower picture is about ¼” shorter and looks to have been trimmed across the top. Each image is about 6 ½” by 5”.</p><p><br /></p><p>Drypoints are made by using a very fine point to draw the image directly onto a printing plate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Really, really cheap packing (not risk free) and shipping free of charge. Unframed. I’ll pop them in a manila envelope and off they go!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Temp/PrintIntaglioDrypointReproductionPeaceTowerOttawa-a_zpsx1xqyhc3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Temp/PrintIntaglioDrypointReproductionPeaceTowerOttawa-b_zpsqh1pweti.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Temp/PrintIntaglioDrypointReproductionChurch-a_zpstfjvnmnp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Temp/PrintIntaglioDrypointReproductionChurch-b_zpshilcg4ai.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
