He prepared many of his early prints using a narrow 'roulette wheel' for much of the detail and may have worked with this through a wax ground on a copper plate. Stipple Prints The TechniqueThe stipple process is an adaptation of etching and the plate was prepared with a wax ground in the same manner as for an etching. The dotted detail was pricked through the wax using an etching needle and bitten by immersion in acid. It was the practice to re-enter or deepen the dots with engraving tools, including the punch and graver. 18th century stipple print of Cherubs Angelica Kauffmann coloured stipple print and etching - The Choice of Paris This method was largely popularised in Britain by Francesco Bartolozzi RA (1725-1815).
