Steam Drill Mezzotint by Chris Nowicki

Mezzotint is one of the oldest printing techniques. It was the printing method of choice by publishers and clients during the 17th and 18th centuries. It is a time consuming deductive method that can produce the most delicate of gray tones and the smoothest tonal transitions from light to dark and is still the most versatile and beautiful of the old techniques.
