Etching and Mezzotint Engraving: Lectures Delivered at Oxford (1892) is a book written by Hubert Von Herkomer, a renowned artist and educator. The book is a collection of lectures that he delivered at Oxford University on the subjects of etching and mezzotint engraving, two popular forms of printmaking. The book provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of the techniques and processes involved in etching and mezzotint engraving, including the tools and materials required, the different types of plates and methods of preparing them, and the various stages of the printing process. Herkomer also discusses the history and evolution of these art forms, tracing their origins back to the early days of printing and exploring their development over the centuries. He provides examples of works by some of the most famous etchers and mezzotint engravers of the past, as well as contemporary artists who are continuing to explore and push the boundaries of these techniques today. Throughout the book, Herkomer emphasizes the importance of practice, experimentation, and artistic vision in the creation of successful etchings and mezzotint engravings. He provides practical advice and tips for artists who are just starting out, as well as insights into his own creative process and the challenges he has faced in his own work.
