Subject: [Baren 19340] Rudolf's Anatomy site 

I find Rudolf Stalder's site on human anatomy really informative, it has more 
photographs than most anatomy books for artists.

If you're not a fan, take a look anyway to view some classic woodcuts and
other prints by an old master!

Subject: [Baren 19344] not wood block 

O.K. It is off topic , but ...

Does anyone know of any historical reference material that talks about the 
various plate material used for etching. Steel plates seem to have been the 
first to be used. But in the 1900s, copper plate seems to be almost 
universal. When and why did the shift occur? And when did zinc begin to be 
used, and why?

Thanks for any help ......

Cheers ........ Charles
