Additional
Information about the Print
In ‘open bite’ nitric acid is painted directly onto the steel plate. It reacts very quickly roughening the surface so that it will hold ink and print with a tone, as on the back of the chair and the parapet beyond.
A
subject found in the ‘Taverna’ at the Villa Ariadne,
Knossos (see Knossos
Courtyard)
