Albrecht Dürer etchings: a beginner’s guide to the father of printmaking
Albrecht Dürer made only six etchings, all on iron plates that rusted as he printed them. This beginner’s guide explains why he gave up on the medium, how to tell a woodcut from an engraving, what Meder grades do to a price, and how to spot the photogravure facsimiles still circulating under his name. With verified auction prices from £1,125 upwards.
