[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 270098, member: 56"]I think the water and the hills at least are a technique called aquatint. Some of the lines may be engraved, but there's lots there that look to me more likely etched. It is not at all unusual for a print to involve several different techniques. It says "engraved" by the Duncan name, but I think that is more an acknowledgement of who worked the plate than the techniques involved. Still... if you're going to sell it, you have to call it something, and it does say "engraved". If buyers want to quibble over the technique, just point to where it says that and allow that other techniques were involved in the production of this intaglio print (and familiarize yourself with the meaning of "intaglio print"). This is aquatint texture: [ATTACH=full]85249[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
