BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION
N presenting this International Exhibition of Etchings, the first with its avowed intentions held in
New York City, the Brooklyn Society of Etchers
does so with two purposes in mind. These are the
assertion that the Graphic Arts in the United States
today are developed to a pitch of equality with those
of any other country, and to put that assertion to the
test of comparison with the best work, available for
the exhibition, by the most distinguished etchers of
Europe.
Of a plan so bold in its challenge, so large in its
potential scope, it might be thought-for such a proposed exhibition usually arouses scepticism-that influences , might enter into the selection of artists and
exhibits which would be fatal to its avowed purposes.
But the Brooklyn Society of Etchers has forestalled
such criticism by being more truly catholic in this
respect than any art organization we can recall, other
than the Society of Independent Artists. It has endeavored, and with signal success, to assemble prints
for exhibition in this show that are both thoroughly
representative of the individual artists themselves and
of the schools they represent. And this, whether they
be extremely "modern," or belong to the school that
for general convenience we call "academic."
How broad the scope of the exhibition is, how
variously representative it is, a brief selection of names
from the catalogue will show. From Europe there are
I
prints by Besnard and M uirhead Bone; by Picasso and
Forain; by Lehmbruch and McBey; by Brouet, Van
Augeren and Otto Fischer.
Of American etchers there are prints from the
needles of Parrish, Sloan, Benson, Higgins, Kinney,
Arms, MacLaughlan, Roth, Gallagher, Goldthwaite,
Reynolds, Heintzleman, Horter, and Auerbach-Levy.
If it astonishes the visitor to the exhibition to see
the work of Lehmbruch and Picasso in the same gallery with Stephen Parrish and F rank W. Benson, their
surprise may be taken as the measure of the success
of the Brooklyn Society of Etchers in assembling
prints that will truly prove its assertion through the
high quality of its test.
In these days of sentimentally false discussion of
"internationalism" and its worth in bringing nations
together for amity and progress, it is refreshing to
meet with a plan such as this with its frank challenge
to those sentimentalities and falsities. The members
of the Brooklyn Society of Etchers believe that the
Graphic Arts in our country equal, in every element
entering into them, the Graphic Arts of Europe. Here
is assembled the material signs of the courage of that
conviction.

The Membership of the Brooklyn Society of
Etchers consists of fifty-two Artists living in all parts
of the United States, and of over three hundred Associate Members prominent in the artistic life of the
country.
This Society has for its object the promotion of
the appreciation of Beauty in the Graphic Arts, and
believes that this end is most directly furthered by
exhibiting the Prints of American Etchers to the
American Public. Today the Society offers a comparison between the recent work . of American Artists and
the best obtainable Prints from living Foreign Artists,
wishing thereby to show that the Graphic Arts in
America have developed to a point of harmony with
those of the World at large.
The Brooklyn Society of Etchers wishes to express
its heartiest appreciation to Messrs. Knoedler & Co.,
Keppel & Co., Kennedy & Co., Weyhe, and Hanfstaengl, who have so generously contributed their
finest Prints, and who have so greatly encouraged its
efforts; and the Society wishes to extend its warmest
thanks to the Anderson Galleries for their cooperation
in forming this Exhibition, and in granting the use of
their Galleries.

ON THE MEDIUMS OF ETCHING
There are five principal ways of making a Print.
In Dry-point, the design is scratched or cut into the
polished surface of a metal plate with a sharp steel or
diamond point; this point makes not only a groove, but
raises a furrow or "burr," which gives a shaded line
in the Print.
In Mezzotint, the design is scraped out from a
plate that has been previously chiseled with a manytoothed tool, giving it a spongy surface, which would
print uniform black, but which gives lighter tones the
deeper the design has been scraped away.
In Etching proper, the plate is first covered with
wax, the design then scratched through the wax with
a sharp point, leaving the metal bare in the lines; when
acid is applied, these lines are bitten into grooves in
the plate; deeper lines are made by covering some lines
with wax, and re-biting.
In Aquatint, the plate is covered with powdered
resin, which melted forms a delicate mesh of metal
between globules of resin; here the acid bites; tones
are made by covering parts with wax, and re-biting.
In Soft-ground, the plate is covered with mixed
wax and tallow, a sheet of rough paper laid thereon,
and the design drawn firmly on the paper, which takes
up the covering where pressed, leaving imperfect lines
of bare metal, along which the acid then bites. These
lines print soft like charcoal lines.
In all cases, the plate is cleaned of wax, rubbed
with ink, judiciously wiped more or less clean, a sheet
of damp paper laid thereon, and is passed between the
rollers of the press, under many tons pressure, which
forces the paper to take up the ink, giving the print
itself. Inks of many colors may be used, but each
Print is separately inked.
