ABOUT ANTIQUE PRINTS: I have an 11 page ‘primer’ about all the basic types of antique prints -- you can view and print out here: www.rrparks.com/Wolverton/antiqueprintprimer.pdf .... And if you have any questions please ask me. Always enjoy talking ‘antique prints’.

SHIPPING: I certainly do combine on postage costs -- if you are purchasing more than one vintage print from me please let me know and I'll adjust the invoice if necessary so you pay postage for only ONE item in the package.

ART and CRAFT idea: A genuine etching print produced in the 1700s-1800s was produced using a largely cotton based paper and was originally
printed ‘wet’ (this applies to any intaglio: steel or copper plate engravings, genuine etchings, genuine lithographs, steel plate photogravures). This means you can take a steel plate engraving print and tint it yourself with simple watercolor washes and watercolor pencils. If like the artwork or a steel plate engraving print and wish it was in full color, you can do that. Lay down very light washes first and build up the color slowly. When you’re done, just iron the paper (medium setting on a rigid surface) to remove any buckling and press overnight to make it completely flat. And if you’re ambitious and looking to add new-vintage items to your store, pick up some engravings… tint them in whatever creative style you want … and you now have value-added inventory.
