Dear Blocks Plates Stoners

This might be slightly off topic, but possibly of interest to those of you interested in the history of etching:

Joumana Medlej has tweeted a thread on her experiments to recreate 13th-century instructions for etching on iron https://twitter.com/joumajnouna/status/1442119876613713925?s=20 . The instructions are below, and the thread illustrates each step.

With best wishes

Elizabeth
