Notes (object):
This drawing for Eider Drake, here reproduced, was made with lithographic crayon directly on the copperplate and then transferred to paper by means of the printing press. The soft, sticky crayon lines on the plate transfer easily to the paper when put through the press. This process, which enables the artist to see the design in the sense in which it will appear in the printed drypoint, has been employed also in making the following plates: "Solitude" (Ordeman #75), "Geese" (Ordeman #124), "Three Geese" (Ordeman #135), "Swans and Teal" (Ordeman #110), "Winter Yellowlegs" (Ordeman #142), and "Broadbills" (Ordeman #153).
