Rural Residences


This is a different process than the bulk of my collection. This involves drawing on a stone from which impressions are taken and colored. This process is less expensive than engraving on a copper plate and became very popular. While it is difficult to achieve the fine line of a copper engraving, beautiful work is done by skilled artisans.
