This is humbling, really. I'm pretty good at pressing keys on a keyboard, not bad at moving a mouse around, and I can still write my name. Engraving on steel backwards in reverse, with this kind of detail? Lordy.
FWIW, you engrave or incise or cut with a burin. Etching is a process where the plate is eaten away by an acid. Perhaps not so critical a distinction in the book arts, but really important in the art print trade.
The sharpness of detail in engravings surpasses anything possible with photomechanical (or digito-mechanical) printing. It's pretty amazing, and, I guess, basically a lost art. If you are scanning one of these, better set the scanner for the highest useful resolution.
I sat in a mock-up of the new Cirrus Jet today alongside Alan Klapmeier, the companys co-founder, who was visiting Hanscom Field (KBED). The interior reflects some truly brilliant design. The seats slide back and forth on long tracks, allowing a lot of flexibility. People could swap seats with the pilots without knocking the thrust

These are just wonderful! There is a depth of feeling in simple black and white. I would love to use that cover myself (adapted of course)

Sarasota: Saratoga
Thanks for the look at the wonderful old engravings. Barhydt's Lake, by the way, is near Saratoga, NY -- not Sarasota (which is in Florida).
