+ Save for later When does the tool become the object we look at? Two cancelled copper plates in Washington collections offer a way into this maker's represented works. Start with the surviving matrices and their distinct museum records.
Look at the incised image and the cancelling lines as separate parts of the object's recorded life. These are two different plates, not a plate and an impression from it.
