Prints Wall Art

Prints Wall Art: 28 artworks catalogued so far, each downloadable or printable to order.

Prints are images produced from a master surface, a woodblock, an engraved or etched plate, or a lithographic stone, so the same design can be pulled in many impressions. The medium runs from the woodcuts and engravings of Albrecht Durer in the early sixteenth century through etching and mezzotint to the rise of lithography around 1800. Printmaking also carried satire and reportage, as in the etchings of Francisco Goya and the engraved caricatures of English print shops. A pre 1930 archive under this heading holds woodcuts, etchings, engravings, lithographs and other multiple originals rather than unique paintings or drawings.
