What reading level is French Etching From Meryon to Lepre Being a Lecture Delivered to the Print Co book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I would say, with diffidence and subject to correction by an audience in which eminent English etchers are present, that the French aquafortist is more intellectually alert, more enterprising and more fearless than his English confrere. Extremes attract him more than the mean ; he is ever ready to experiment. To the criticisms of the bourgeois he is usually indifferent ; he thinks more of the opinion of his fellow artist. Tradition is less firmly rooted in a country which has gone through many ...revolutions. Thorough technical accomplishment is, perhaps, rarer in France than here, but less importance is attached to it. Again and again there has been some new departure, something fresh, unexpected and startling has come into being, because an artist who has not been trained in the routine of etching has been bitten with enthusiasm for the process and has found out for himself the method that suits his own temperament and is, probably, incommunicable to another.
The collector of French etchings will need some of the courage, some of the genius for experiment, the disregard of conventional standards, which the etchers themselves have displayed, if he is to make his collecting a success.
