The firm of Yves & Barret in Paris developed a #photoengraving technique drawing on zinc and then dusting it with resin that stuck to the ink, then using acid to etch away the zinc elsewhere to make a printing block.

Here an #angel is blowing a #trumpet to announce #christmas and the invention of the #hashtag.

First from this book, vol. 5 of a series. I also have vols 4 and 6, picked up cheaply on a business trip years ago.

@barefootliam What a brilliant technique. Never heard of that one.
@bosak i understand that in France the technique was named after them.
