La taille-doucière, by Gaby Bazin

Enter the intaglio workshop and discover an engraving technique used for centuries. Initiated by goldsmiths, engraving was an important way of transmitting images during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Today, we still come across it almost daily… thanks to banknotes!

Combining the history of printing, technical explanations and plastic experiments, Gaby Bazin narrates an unknown artistic profession. A book of great beauty, featuring a middle- age artist. After At the Lithographer’s and At the Typographer’s, Gaby Bazin continues her exploration of printing techniques.
