Aquatint Etching by Caroline Salmon - Moonlit Mushrooms - Ed. of 30 in brown on cream paper

This etching was created on a copper plate. Originally drawn because Caroline wanted to ID a fungi - or at least have a record of these large white mushrooms before it was eaten! That simple drawing was done on a the prepared etching plate what was then etched and printed as "Parasols for Breakfast". The plate was then aquatinted and burned in acid again to obtain different depths of colour and printed in dark brown on cream paper to make "Moonlit Mushrooms".

The remaining print of Parasols for Breakfast is available on this website.

A true etching always has a dent around the edge and the paper should be torn to show the deckled edge. This etching print has this quality. This is Perfect Print for a kitchen, office or lounge - perhaps not a bedroom unless you are really into fungi.
