Etching grounds from Rohrer & Klingner (Germany)

In 1892, the lithographer Johann Adolf Rohrer (1850 – 1918) began with the production of special graphic supplements in the city of Leipzig. His son Johann Adolf Rohrer junior founded with his partner Felix Arthur Klingner in 1907 the cooperation that is still known under the name Rohrer & Klingner Leipzig-Co.
After the Second World War, the repatriate Johannes Rohrer (1916 – 1991) joined the firm to contribute both his chemical aptitude and his particular interest in arts. When he retired in 1981, he assigned management to his daughter Veronika Rohrer and his son-in-law Hubert Adamy.

A soft wax mixture for the "vernis mou". The heated plate is lightly covered with beef tallow and wiped off, leaving only a thin layer of fat.
The vernis mou is now dabbed on the plate. The heat divides the wax and distribute it evenly over the plate with a leather roller. Allow the plate to cool completely.
Subsequently, a material with structure (tree leaf, for example) can be pressed into the wax. Remove the material and now you can see an image of the material in the wax. Then etch in nitric acid, iron chloride or copper sulphate (zinc), remove the wax layer and ink and print the plate.
