I made this for an Intaglio Printing workshop at my school. The Intaglio plate has a thin (copper coloured) coat over it, which you scratch into to expose the silver plate. Then you wash it in acid, and the exposed lines melt away a little. So wherever you have etched becomes an indent. Then you wash the coat off, so it's all silver. Then you ink it and print it. I did a couple prints, but never got them back. But I have the plate, so there you go! Has a few finger prints on it though. Couldn't manage to get them off with breath and a tissue.
