The REAL problem being that... do you remember the story of Bre'r Rabbit? Farmer MacGregor caught him in his garden and swore he'd throw him into the briar patch. Bre'r Rabbit said oh no, anything but that, please don't throw me into the briar patch. So Mr. MacG, threw him into the briar patch & Bre'r Rabbit hopped happily away, feasting... Or like that. Which is to say, I said I'd look this up, but didn't count on all the sticky patches I'd fall into along the way...So which article exactly talks about this, Judy? Or is it the book. I have an 1898 mention by Oscar Bolle in the BJP and and then Miethe in 1904... I wonder why it never took off...I do have one image of a print of this nature from 1914.Ooops, I think I, we, all of us need to watch ourselves around you -- I'd totally forgotten that. (Are you sure you're not wasting your talents in alt???) If you *remembered* that, please don't tell me. I prefer to believe you indexed the archive... At this point I plan maybe 2 or 3 more citations, because I get the feeling it's a lot like gum, that is, the principles hold, but there's not just one way, rather many ways, preferences (on for instance brushes and pigments) vary, and people work out or fall into their own techniques anyway....
