Note:	Pierre Cottin: A foremost nineteenth century French painter and etcher of landscapes and genre scenes, Pierre Cottin studied art under Jazet in Paris. Cottin first gained recognition for his etchings after the designs of contemporary painters, such as Schoppin, Euder, Vernet, Bellange and Rosa Bonheur.
	Beginning around 1860, however Pierre Cottin began to create etchings based solely upon his own work. He was quickly received as a creative etcher of the first rank, and he continued to produce original etchings until the year of his death in 1886.
	Perhaps the most technically demanding form of original printmaking, the mixed method engraving reached its apex during the later Victorian era. Highly skilled engravers would often devote more than a full year's work to one large engraving, combining such complex mediums as mezzotinting, aquatinting, stippling, etching and engraving to produce remarkable effects in black and white. During the mid and late nineteenth century these large engravings became the driving force of the Victorian art world.
