A method of engraving in which the design is bitten into the plate with acid. 2, record 1, English, - etching
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The plate is first covered with an acid-resistant resinous substance. The artist then takes a finely pointed needle and draws the design out of this resinous ground. The drawing instrument does not cut into the metal surface. The image which will print is represented by the areas in which the copper of the plate has been exposed. The plate is then immersed in an acid bath. The acid eats into the plate only in those areas not protected by the ground. The length of time the plate remains in the acid bath determines the depth of the etched lines. 3, record 1, English, - etching

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'artiste recouvre d’abord la planche d’un vernis dur que les acides n’ attaqueront pas. Le graveur prend ensuite une pointe d’acier fine et dessine son motif sur ce vernis, mais sans que sa pointe n’ entame la surface du métal. L'image à imprimer correspond aux parties du cuivre ainsi mises à nu. La planche gravée est ensuite plongée dans un bain d’acide qui attaque les parties du métal qui ne sont pas protégées-c'est la morsure. Le temps plus ou moins long que la planche passe dans l'acide détermine la profondeur des traits. 3, record 1, French, - eau%2Dforte

Schéma de principe d’une gravure humide isotrope : 1. le substrat est protégé localement par un masque, généralement une résine photosensible; 2. le substrat est plongé dans le bain d’attaque chimique et le matériau visé se dégrade; 3. le caractère isotropique de cette attaque donne des formes spécifiques et le matériau est gravé dans tout son volume et non pas uniquement à la verticale sous le masque : c'est la sous-gravure; 4. fin de la gravure, les flans de la couche usinée ne sont pas strictement verticaux, mais ce problème, comme celui de la sous-gravure, est maîtrisé par un masque adapté et les choix judicieux du bain et du temps de trempe. 2, record 2, French, - sous%2Dgravure
