Engraving in the mezzotint, The black way (Where black engraving, Or mezzotint, Or mezzo tinto) is an intaglio engraving process. It was the first printing process that made it possible to obtain levels of gray without resorting to hatching or dotted lines. The mezzotint allows for a wide variety of hues and its charm lies in the fact that the shapes “seem to come out of the shadows. It is this spirit as much as the process that makes it possible to distinguish a black manner from a simple white manner. ".
