About this work

This print shows Henry Chichele, who helped start All Souls College in Oxford in 1438. The artist, John Taylor, made it between 1772 and 1773. Taylor mixed two printing methods. He used acid to etch some lines and a sharp tool to engrave others. Both methods cut grooves to hold ink on a metal plate. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
