While in Amsterdam I saw some great prints. I didn't realize there were so many different methods of make a print. There are the ones I saw:
Etching
Drypoint
Engraving
Linocut
Lithograph
The prints below come mostly from an exhibit at the Rembrandt House Museum and a few from the Rijksmuseum.

| Anders Zorn, Rosita Mauri, 1889, Drypoint | Henri Fantin-Latour, Portrait of Marie Fantin-Latour, the artist's sister, 1897, Lithograph | James Tissot, Marie Goidet, 1860, Etching |
My dad was a painter and I am more familiar with painters and oil, acrylic and watercolors. It is so great to see this medium of printmaking and that many of the painters I am familiar with also made prints.
