## About this work

Bertha E. Jaques made this (n.d.). It is now at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC.

### How it was made

- **Drypoint.** Lines scratched straight into the plate with a needle throw up a ridge of metal, the burr, which holds ink and prints a soft, furred line. The burr wears down, so early impressions are the richest.
- **Hand-coloured.** Printed in black, then coloured by hand in watercolour, one sheet at a time.
