oct 13, 1445 - Etching is a process invented by Daniel Hopfer in Germany, the process involves a wax covered metal plate that would have a image carved into the wax, this was then placed into acid removing the lines that where exposed. A artist tat used this technique after Hopfer was a man called Ibraham El-Salahi, most of his prints tend to be in black and white cause this method only limits you to few colours therefore most of his works have this lack of colour.
