This mezzotint print was produced in an edition of 150. It is signed and numbered by the artist, and a certificate of authenticity is included. This fine art print was created using mezzotint printing, an intaglio process similar to etching. Intaglio printing is an intensive labor of love in which the artist creates an image with varnish or waxes over a zinc or copper plate, and burns the image into the metal using an acid solution. Inks are applied to the metal plate and each print is pulled by hand. Mezzotint differs from traditional etching due to the use of a special roughening tool, which is used to create gradiated tones throughout the printed area.
