** "Etching in England" by Frederick Wedmore is a late 1800s analysis of etching as an art form in England. It looks at how etching grew and became important, separating etching made for money from etching made for art. The author shares stories of famous etchers from England and other countries, arguing that their work is valuable art. He starts by talking about how etching changed over 30 years and how people viewed etchers like Turner and Wilkie. He points out that some etchers wanted to sell their work, while others wanted to express themselves through art. Wedmore makes it clear that he's looking at the best etching art in England and wants to show how local and international artists made etching a real form of art that should be appreciated. **
