| Summary | "Engravers and Etchers" by Fitz Roy Carrington is a scholarly collection of lectures written in the early 20th century. The text focuses on the history, theory, and practice of engraving, particularly emphasizing the significance and techniques of notable engravers throughout history. Carrington, an authority in the field, draws from various sources to introduce the art of engraving to students and enthusiasts alike. The opening of the work establishes the context of Carrington's six lectures, highlighting German engraving from its inception through to Martin Schongauer, a key figure in the evolution of this art form. Carrington discusses the origins of engraving, asserting that its roots are found not in a single country but rather in Switzerland, and he presents various engravers who set the stage for future developments. He mentions the Master of the Playing Cards and the Master E.S., among others, exploring their artistic techniques and the unique characteristics that influenced later engravings, notably those by Schongauer and Albrecht Dürer. This initial discussion sets a foundation for understanding the technical and artistic advancements in engraving, which Carrington aims to elaborate upon in the subsequent lectures.
