This print called *A Tea Garden* shows a quiet outdoor scene. It’s an engraving made with colored inks pressed onto paper in one go. François David Soiron used a special method—he dabbed ink on the plate with little rag balls. This trick kept colors bright and smooth. People back then loved prints like this, especially after seeing paintings by George Morland. If you like how ink meets paper, try the Victoria and Albert Museum.
