This print shows a scene from Fonthill Abbey. It was created using etching, a technique where a design is drawn into a waxy layer on a metal plate. The wax is then removed, and acid etches the metal, creating grooves to hold ink for printing. The artist used this method to create detailed images, similar to those found in the work of Buckler, John Chessell.
