"Prints: A Brief Review of Their Technique and History" by Emil H. Richter is a scholarly work that provides an overview of the methods and historical development of printmaking techniques. Written in the early 20th century, it aims to introduce a broad audience to the types of prints and the significance of their production, enriching the reader's understanding of the graphic arts. The book discusses key processes such as woodcut, engraving, and lithography, while highlighting their evolution over the centuries. The opening of this work sets the stage by establishing the unfamiliarity many people have with the art of printmaking, despite its omnipresence in daily life. Richter begins by defining what constitutes a print and outlining the three main categories of printmaking processes: relief, intaglio, and planographic. He emphasizes the need for understanding how prints are created, encouraging readers to appreciate the nuances of these techniques. The author intends for this text to inspire curiosity and further study among those interested in the art form, positioning prints not merely as art objects but as vital expressions of cultural and historical significance.
