The meaning and "use of": mezzotint

noun
  • a print made from an engraved copper or steel plate on which the surface has been partially roughened, for shading, and partially scraped smooth, giving light areas. The technique was much used in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries for the reproduction of paintings. - In the 18th century mezzotints were issued in a highly artificial and codified manner - proofs before all letters, proofs with scratched letters - and aimed therefore at a sophisticated collecting fraternity.
verb
  • engrave (a picture) in mezzotint. - Not only will mezzotinting give you stunning effects, but you'll also get more detail and a sharper image.
