Cultivated Medlar (Mespilus germanica), c. 1800. Creator: Gerard van Spaendonck (Dutch, 1746-1822)
Cultivated Medlar (Mespilus germanica), c. 1800. The brown and blue-green inks were printed a la poupee. Instead of making a plate for each colour, a single plate is selectively inked in different colours using stumps of rags, known as dolls ( poupee in French), so that the complete design is printed at one time. Since this process is laborious, the plate was most often coloured by hand with watercolour, like the right-hand impression. The printed colour, however, creates a more beautiful effect, because all of the subtleties of the shading are evident. In comparison, the watercolour camouflages some of the finest detail
