"Walcot was a painterly etcher, concerned only with the final effect of the plate, who delighted in monumentality. Like Brangwyn he employed zinc for his large plates, a metal both cheaper than copper and easier to work. He defined the principal lines of the composition in drypoint or etching but created tone by a variety of means in addition to straight-forward aquatint, from roughening the surface of the plate with a roulette or mezzotint rocker to painting nitric acid directly onto selectively grounded areas of the plate and exploiting the related foul biting. Versatile, Walcot could also work on miniature plates as small as only 2 or 3 inches. All his smaller, more traditionally sized plates, were etched on copper.." - from biography section. VG .
