Société des Aquafortistes (Frontispice)
Cadart & Luquet|Félix Bracquemond
1865 · Etching, aquatint; first state out of two · Drawings and Prints
Bracquemond's design for the title page of the Société des Aquafortistes' 1865 album relied on complex symbolism to suggest the prominent new role of etching. Synthesizing allusions to the past and the present with a wide range of visual styles, the image indicates the universality and modernity of the prints included within the portfolio.
