2. What is a scratchboard?
Invented in Europe in the 1850’s for illustration, replacing printmaking.
Scratchboard was invented in the late 1850s as a tool for commercial illustrators and quickly became the favourite of many. Previous to scratchboard, illustrators employed traditional intaglio printing processes, like copperplate etching: an original drawing is transferred in reverse onto a plate of copper, the copper is etched to create ridges in the surface, the lines are covered with ink, and then paper is applied and pressed to make a print.
