TECHNIQUE

On this etched plate, the interiors and doorway are drawn with close cross-hatched lines, and the goods in the shop window are drawn in detail.

PRINTING

The plate has clearly been printed since there is some ink left in the lines, but no impressions have been located. This is all the more surprising, considering that some two-thirds of the plate has been etched in detail.
