A history on Simon's work was published in 1937 by art-society Hollar in Prague in their quarterly Vol. XIII no.2  and has the Czech title  "Kronika Grafického díla T.F. Šimona". Later that  year it has been reprinted from this quarterly into book form, it is illustrated by 34 prints and 1 drawing, a lithographic cover and 2 wood engravings; enclosed are 2 original prints. (The text of this Chronic has never been translated into the English language). The catalogue raisonné "Seznam Grafických Prací T.F. Šimona" is compiled by Arthur Novak and published together with the Chronic.

The team of this website translated the original Czech text of Novak's Catalogue Raisonné, with some corrections and additions. With assistance of T.F. Šimon a list with titles of 626 prints was gathered by Arthur Novak. It is possible that the prints are made earlier or somewhat later then Novak mentioned. Even the artist himself did not always exactly remembered when a print was created. Typographical mistakes have been made. We mostly did not translated proper names. 

 

Seznam Grafických Prací T.F. Šimona (1937).
Catalogue Raisonné of the Graphic Art - T.F. Simon.
Graphic art by Šimon is so extensive and wide-ranging that this first list cannot be more than a source of information for a  catalogue raisonné according to principles valid for such documents. The list was created using almost complete Simon's collection. Many  items approximately up to 1912 are based on memory and partial  records. Some experimental works and small prints are also included  in this list in spite of the artist's opposition since he wished to include only valuable artworks. The author of the list defended the approach of completeness knowing the needs of art history and needs of collectors. Monotypes, as not reproducible products, are not included in the list. Illustrated books with original graphic art were included as a whole under one number. All ex libris were included as numbers from 539 to 588 with reference to a special list by Václav Rytíř. Individual prints from albums are listed one after another and according to the year of issue.


The first number in dimensions is height, the second is width in millimetres.
The names were determined by the artist who usually respected the original French titles.

From the Catalogue of the T F Šimon Exhibition by Frederick Keppel & Co.
New York, December 1914/ January 1915.
ETCHING in colour has always been such a mystery to the general public that an artist's own notes on his craft may prove valuable in clearing away some of its debated problems as well as serving an a brief foreword to an exhibition of the works of one who has practiced the art with such conspicuous success-the Bohemian, T.F. Šimon. He first of all disclaims any didactic or comprehensive survey of the subject and writes that he speaks merely from his own knowledge and experience. 
 

Note by the artist T F Šimon:
"Most colour-prints are produced by means of several plates. It may be three, four, or six and I am of the opinion that this use of several plates insures the best results, particularly in regard to richness of colour and harmonious combination of tone. An even tone on any colour plate may be obtained by the use of aquatint.  The number of plates for an engraving in colour depends upon the subject and the effect required.  A colour print in simple tones (for example, the colour harmony of a picture by Corot, or a night effect, or a subject with wide planes in neutral tints) usually needs but few plates; while a subject full of colour, such as a flower piece with brilliant tints, requires many.  In general, however, for a subject of fairly simple colour effect and with little complication of tone spaces, two plates may be employed with advantage: one for the outlines or contours, the other (aquatint) for the colour.
A second method involves the use of three separate plates one for each of the primary colours. In the former method the inks for complex tones such as browns, greens, etc, are mixed by the printer before being applied to the plate, whereas in this latter method these complex tints are built up on the plate from the three primary colours.  Any effect may be obtained by this process whether for a subject of full animated colour or for an effect of low tone harmony; but wide experience is essential for the production of a successful result, and though it is employed in colour photography and photo engraving processes, it is hardly ever used in artistic printing. “in colour engraving there is absolutely freedom. Everything depends upon the skill, the good taste, and the artistic perception of the engraver.’

Prints
:
1. The artist alone must create the master image on the stone, or whatever material would be used to make the print.
2. The print - if not printed by the artist - should be hand printed by someone under the artist's direct supervision.
3. Each impression should be approved and signed by the artist (but this doesn't happen always) and the master image (the matrix) destroyed or cancelled.
The original print is not a copy of anything else, not a copy of a painting or another print. If an artist chooses to copy his own work, originally done in another medium, it would be a print done after an oil (or other medium). An original print is a creative endeavour by the artist and therefore is as valid an expression as is any other form of visual art - may it
be a painting or a sculpture. The original print is a work of art in it's own right.

Types of Prints:

I. Intaglio 
Since the beginning of history, men scratched and incised lines into stone, skin or bark. The technique was continued by Greek designers and by the Etruscans and Romans. It was brought to great refinement by the artisan-engraver, and that of the artist, collaborating to produce a multiple image: the print.
There were in the beginning of the 16th century some artists who felt that the woodcut was coarse and primitive. We do not know who first thought of the idea of rubbing ink into the lines and coaxing it out by pressing a dampened sheet of paper against the metal surface.
The areas to be printed are incised by cutting, scratching, or etching below the printing surface to hold ink in the now recessed areas. The paper is placed on top of the plate and together they are pulled through the press. The pressure required to pick up the ink leaves a visible plate mark within the margin of the sheet of paper. The paper receives the ink from the incised lines and not from the surface of the plate. The ink is pressed into the lines with a pad called a "dabber". Any left on the surfaced is removed by wiping muslin across the plate and the process is usually complete with the palm of the hand.
The paper is dampened and passed through a press on a board that slides between one or two rollers. The pressure must be strong enough to force the damp paper into the lines and lift the ink out onto the paper.
Considerable varieties of effect can be obtained by wiping so as to leave a film of ink on the surface of the plate.
An Intaglio print can be normally recognised by the plate mark and by the fact that the ink stands up from the paper in a very slight relief, which can be often detected by touch.

 1. Engraving
In line engraving a plate, copper or steel, is used and into the highly polished surface of this copper the design is cut with a tool known as the graver or burin. A burin is a prism-shaped bar of steel with a sharp point, and a wooden handle which rests in the engravers hand, the direction of motion is a push applied by his palm and directed by the thumb and forefinger, which rest on each side of the graver towards the point. The engraver pushes the burin on the face of the metal producing a furrow, dislodging a thin strip of metal as cleanly as possible, a rough lip or "bur" is produced on the edges of the cut. With a properly sharpened burin a skilled engraver should produce very little "bur".
When the whole design has been incised on the metal in this manner, the plate is inked and then wiped. The ink fills the channel cut by the graver and the plate is passed through a printing press having a damp sheet of paper pressed into the cut lines, which transfers the ink from the plate on the surface of the paper. All engraving is in reverse, that is to say, all objects cut on the metal face are the reverse way they face when printed. The type of line incised varies to the impression the artist desires. Broad lines make for coarseness while a fine impression results from narrow lines. Variation of depth is also possible. Sometimes lines can cross and this is called cross-hatching. The skilful use of dots and dashes heighten the general effect.
As the graver is pushed forward away from the engraver and not held in the natural way as in a pencil or pen, the method is far less spontaneous than etching. The burin cannot attempt any sudden impulse of the artist. In past centuries it was not unknown for an engraver to work five years on one plate.
Steel engravings replaced copper in the main, after 1820. The rate of deterioration of steel plates is much less rapid than copper and many more impressions can be made. Copper plates produce finer work.

 2. Dry point
The image is drawn onto the plate with a steel needle
without the use of any acid. The incising leaves a ridge called a "burr", much like a plough leaves furrows of dirt to either side as it cuts through the ground. When the plate is printed, the burr holds some ink, and
produces a soft velvety line, characteristic of the dry point.
The burr is removed with a scraper when dry-point is used in conjunction with "bitten-in" work

 3. Etching
A true "artists" print, where the artist actually produces the print, whereas with most printing processes a professional has to produce the print working from the artists designs. An etching requires a highly polished metal plate, usually copper.
The plate is coated with an acid-resistant ground (wax), the artist then draws the design directly into the wax using a sharp instrument known as an etching needle. The idea is to expose the metal along the lines he draws. The plate is dropped into a bowl of acid, which eats into the exposed metal. When the design is complete the plate is inked and then the surface is wiped with a cloth, this cleans the plate only leaving ink lodged in the lines that have been etched into the surface of the plate. A sheet of damp paper is pressed upon the plate and a print results.
Early copper plates were forged and flattened by the battery hammer process. These were then polished by an assistant with grind stone, pumice, oil stone, sallow-wood charcoal and steel burnisher. By the end of the 18th century the plate was flattened by steam-driven rollers.
Under a magnifying glass the lines appear blunt ended, compared with the burin engraving.
Although copper plate is traditional, steel was used in the 20th century.  Occasionally zinc or brass was used.

 4. Vernis mou (=Soft Ground Etching)
The artist prepares the plate in much the same way as an etching, using a different kind of ground. This ground allows the artist, after laying a piece of paper on top, to draw the image with a pencil. The coating under the pressure of the pencil adheres to the paper which is then lifted off, exposing the copper underneath. The plate is then bitten in the same way as an etching. This method became popular from the late 18th century. Basically the process is the same as hard-line etching. The plate was covered with a ground which the etcher removed with his tool strokes. This allowed the acid to bite or hollow out the copper in lines that would hold the ink and print it upon the paper.
But the ground itself was given a softer consistency by adding some form of grease, such as tallow. This meant that instead of the hard needle-point the etcher could make his lines through it with a pencil or similar.
The usual method was to lay a sheet of thin paper over the ground and apply the pencil over this. Each stroke caused a line of the ground to attach itself to the paper. When the drawing was complete and the paper lifted, the ground revealed its copper in corresponding detail but in soft-edged, fluent lines for the acid to bite.

  5. Mezzotint
The plate surface is pitted with a tool called a raker. The plate is eventually covered with thousands of tiny "pits" which hold ink and would print a deep velvety black if not further worked. The artist then scrapes and burnishes areas of the plate he wishes to print less darkly, so the effect is of tone rather than line. The artist essentially draws the light into the image. It is the best method for expressing tone and texture in monochrome. The copper mezzotint block yielded only a few superb prints, no more than fifty and perhaps another fifty of lesser quality. The engraver was aware that the quality depended entirely on the quality of each contributory factor - copper, ink and paper. From the 17th-19th centuries mezzotint was known as ''la manière anglaise''.
In a mezzotint one is impressed first by the depth and intensity of the shadow that serves as a foil to the delicate detail of burnished brightness. Areas of part shadow show a limitless range of grey tones and the darkest areas a velvety blackness.
It involved a difficult technique. It depended like dry-point, that the engraver's burin, cutting lines into his copper plate, threw up a fragment of metal burr to the side of every cut. When not removed this burr readily absorbs the ink and would print a massy blackness. The different tones presenting every detail of the pure mezzotint were printed entirely by such burrs, modified by the engraver.
The surface had to be worked over in different direction, producing thousands of crossing lines of dots, each with its accompanying raised burr. The grain was coarse or fine according to the closeness of the tool's serration - from about 50 to 200 on a two inch blade.
The first professional master engraver in mezzotint in England was Abraham Blooteling, who arrived from Amsterdam in 1672 and the first English professional was William Sherwin. Blooteling's mezzotint portraits were after the fashionable artist Sir Peter Lely.
The great mezzotint period began around 1750. By then the technique was fully established. Both the copper plate and ink were of a quality to suit such delicate work, although the fine paper still had to be imported.
A mezzotint is easy to recognise because of the distinctive manner in which the design emerges from the black background

 6. Aquatint
This technique is used to create tone and texture in a print. The plate is sprinkled with a powdered resin, heated so the resin melts and clings, then given an acid bath to bit the areas not covered by the resin, creating a porous ground. Aquatint is rarely employed by itself, but rather in combination with other intaglio methods.
Aquatint is in fact a monochrome process and consists of etching rather than engraving. Acid, aqua Fortis, not hard tools, creates hollows in the metal plate. It is only less texturally rich than the mezzotint and it suggests a far greater extent a freedom of tone akin to the limpid brushwork of water colour.
Aquatint is a complicated process and involves dissolving resin in spirits of wine and pouring the liquid over a highly polished copper plate. The plate is warmed and the spirit evaporates, leaving a granulated surface on the plate, known as the ground. Usually the outline of the subject is etched onto the plate, before ground is applied and the etched lines filled with ink. Sometime the subject was traced or drawn onto the plate.
When it is ready the plate is exposed to acid which bites around the resin granules. As each required tone is reached, the plate is withdrawn and the area of tone covered with a stepping-out varnish. This continues until the darkest tones are obtained, possibly eight or twelve "bites" being required.
Aquatints could be printed uncoloured or in one or two coloured inks, olive, brown, green or red were used in England. Coloured aquatints were finished by hand and the best examples are difficult to distinguish from water colour. The main disadvantage of the coloured aquatint was the cost of production, long print runs were impractical and it almost ceased to be used in England by the mid-nineteenth century.
In an aquatint one is aware of a surface grain of varying depth and opacity covering almost every part of the print. This may be coarse or fine but is usually consistent texture. It is never a smooth blur but appears as lighter and darker areas of speckled powdery tone rather than the engraver's multitudinous individual lines. A magnifying glass makes this clear.
In contrast to the mezzotint, the aquatint was worked from light tones into ever increasing darkness. The shadows never acquired the intense velvet texture of the mezzotint but the light has a limpid brilliance.


II. Relief

 1. The Woodcut

The technique for making woodcuts by the relief process was discovered by the Chinese. It is the oldest form of printmaking, and appeared in about a millennium before the first prints ever appeared in Europe. Most artists in the 13th and 14th century who made woodcuts remain anonymous. The first major artist to use the medium was Albrecht Dürer, who in 1498 executed the large passion with German and Latin text.
The principal of the woodcut is similar to the workings of a rubber stamp. The artist cuts away the portion of those areas on the woodblock which he does not want to print leaving raised (or in relief) the images that is to be printed.
In this method a design is drawn onto a piece of wood and then the design is cut away using a tool such as a chisel, gouge or knife, leaving the part to be inked in relief. Then the ink is applied to the surface and the block is then wiped. After this, a piece of paper is put on top of the block and pressure is applied by means of using a press or a burnisher to make the design transfer to the paper.
Wood Engraving: this process is a variation of the woodblock process in which a cross section of a block of wood and other engraving tools are used instead of a knife. In this methodology a much more textured design and finer detail is produced and the print is printed in the same way. The print is made, first, by engraving the design or picture to be printed into the mirror-smooth surface of a block of end-grain wood. Boxwood is best. Secondly, the block is rolled up with ink (on its top surface) and printed onto paper. The cuts that were made into the wood therefore come out as white; the remaining top surface which gets inked, as black; the artist is, in effect, drawing with light - with a white mark, as opposed to the black mark that comes from a pencil, brush or pen. Because the tools used are finely pointed, most wood engravings tend to be closely worked and relatively small, at least compared to more obviously expansive print-making methods. Because their finesse produces a particularly rich tonal range, wood engravings are usually, but by no means exclusively, black and white. Wood engravings are original prints. It is part of the nature of the medium that many prints can be taken from the block once it is engraved. They are made by the process, not copied. Artists’ prints are usually produced in limited editions. This is expressed in the ‘fraction’ written on the print itself: 10/75, for example, indicating the tenth impression in an edition of seventy-five.
Wood engraving is also used in the illustration of books, both in commercial publishing and in Fine Press publications; books produced in limited editions to the highest standards, as works of art in themselves, and often printed with traditional hot metal type.
The wood engraved block can be set alongside the type in this sort of printing, so that the illustrations are all original prints, printed direct from the wood block. (In most commercial publishing, illustrations are photographic and laser-scanned reproductions).

 2. Linoleum Cut
This method is done in much the same way as the woodcut, except a linoleum block is used. (The most important Linoleum Cuts were executed by Picasso, who invented a new "reduction" method.)


III. Plano graphic Methods:

  1. Lithograph
The artist draws the image directly on a highly polished limestone using a grease based crayon, or grease based liquid called tusche, similar to a paint. The stone is then prepared for printing by applying a chemical solution of gum Arabic and nitric acid to make it more receptive to water. In order to make the print, the stone is dampened with water, which will not adhere to the image drawn because of the natural antipathy of grease to water. When ink is rolled over the stone, it will only adhere to the grease based image. Then the paper is pressed against the stone, and only the ink on the greasy image is transferred. In 1840 the Litho tint process was patented; in this a second stone , known as a tint stone, was used so that effect of a wash drawing could be obtained, the tint was usually buff or grey. Intermediate tints could be obtained by scraping away. The create a colour lithograph, a separate stone for each colour is used and must be printed separately. The stone used is limestone, originally from Bavaria but later from Bath in England. Gericault and Delacroix all adapted this medium in its early days.

 2. Serigraph
The artist prepares a screen of silk, or synthetic, in which all areas other then the one that is to be printed is blocked out. Paper is placed under the stencil and ink is forced through. For each colour a separate screen in prepared. 
One of the oldest printing processes, originating in China , is silk screening. A screen of silk or other fabric, is stretched tightly over a wooden frame. There are several ways of making a stencil but traditionally the design is drawn on the screen with a tusche and covered with a thin layer of glue which will not adhere to the tusche areas. The tusche areas are washed away by application of a solvent leaving behind the open stencil. Paint is applied to the screen with a squeegee thus creating the design. A separate stencil is used for each colour.

Artist's Proof: impressions for the use of the artist outside of the regular edition. (Also E.A. - Épreuve d'Artiste).

À la poupée     A process by which all colours are applied to the plate and printed simultaneously, creating varying impressions.
Baxter Prints   George Baxter (1806-1867) invented a process of using several blocks of colour printing. His results he termed "oil pictures". They exhibit a great delicacy of finish and are brilliant in colour. He published them about 1850. They came at a period when albums and books of "gems" were the necessary appurtenances of the Drawing Room table. They are mostly small in size some three inches by four inches in area.
Burin A pointed cutting tool used by engravers.
Bon à tire   Meaning "right to print" this impression serves as a guide for the rest of the edition.
Cancelled Plate   The plate is holed or scratched over in order to prevent further printing.
Catalogue Raisonné   A catalogue containing a description of all the work done by an artist.
Chiaroscuro Print   A colour woodcut used to suggest the effect of a monochrome tonal drawing. A different block was normally used for each shade of colour. The process was particularly popular in Italy and Germany in the16th century. The chiaroscuro (=It.; in French 'clair-obscur'; means 'clear-obscure') made no attempt at natural colours but achieved a great sense of depth and solidity while avoiding the printmakers obvious fault of niggling line and laborious hatchings. Again, in contrast to much early colour work there was no question of individual hand tinting, either by painting the print or by dabbing the block or plate.
In chiaroscuro the tints seldom consist of much more than different tones of a single colour. Each area of tone has clearly defined edges but is wholly flat.
The origins of the process have been disputed, but at least by the early part of the 16th century, prints were being produced in a small range of sombre tones by the German artists Lucas Cranach. A suggestion of three-dimensional substance was more important than natural colour realism, therefore the colours ranged through reddish brown, sepia, brownish green, pale yellow to occasional bluish-grey. Frequently only the one additional block for tone colour was introduced - rarely more than two.
Chromolithography  The first true multi-colour printing method, previously colour had been applied by hand. The Frenchman Godefrey Engleman commercially produced  this method in the 1830's. The process was based on lithography (printing from stone slabs), but extended so that a stone was used for each colour and each separate colour was laid on top of the previous one; thus the paper sheet was printed on several times before the print was finished.
This required both a number of stones (adding to the expense) and a very precise method for laying the stones, if each stone is not positioned identically to the one before, then the colours appear out of register - similar to the ghosting effect on a television that is out of tune.
As the century progressed chromolithography became more intricate and as many as fifteen stones were employed and some wonderful and highly artistic results obtained.
The Victorians loved this method of printing because of its rich colouring and many books were bound with chromolithographic prints. Many children's' books included this type of print. An important publication was of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee representing her reign from 1837 until the Diamond Jubilee in 1897 in which included several chromolithographed prints which were enhanced with gold or silver.
Cliché Verre   A technique used by the French etchers in the 19th century, by such artists as Corot and Daubigney. The surface of a glass plate was covered with an opaque ground and the artist would draw onto this ground with a point, leaving the glass transparent where the lines were to print black. The glass plate was then used as an ordinary photographic negative, and a print produced by exposing light through it onto sensitized photographic paper.
Counter Proof   The artist places a piece of paper over a print while the ink is still wet, and pulls another impression from the print itself. The resulting image is in reverse to the print but in the same direction as the engraving on the plate, and often helps the artist in making corrections. Counterproofs can be recognised because the image is flatter and weaker than an impression taken directly from the plate and in reverse.
Edition and Edition Size   A completed run of prints is usually limited. There appears to be no minimum or maximum number used. Editions of 100 or less are considered small. Original prints have been executed to accompany written texts and such editions may number in the thousands. Limited edition prints are signed by the artist and numbered. For example 5/150 indicates that this is the 5th print to be signed and that there are 150 taken off before the printing  plate or block was defaced and known as cancelling. Sometimes a print did not get a number by the artist; this means the print is an Artist's Proof, printed before the ('official') limited edition.
Épreuve d'Artist
See A.P.
Fecit  Latin; means: 'has made it'.
État See State. If the artist only writes état, it means Artist's Proof in the first state.
Glass Print   From the late 17th to the early 19th centuries, mezzotints of popular genre and mythological subjects, were frequently glued down onto glass abraded from behind to remove all the paper.
The film of ink left behind was then hand coloured and the glass was framed.
Hand Signing and Numbering   A print does not have to be signed and numbered to be an original. The practice did  not start until the later part of the 19th century. One of the earliest proponents of the practice was Whistler. The signature usually appears on the lower right margin and the numbers on the left.
Le Blon Prints   Jakob Christof Le Blon (Frankfurt am Main1667 - Paris 1741) used three plates inked with red, blue and yellow and superimposed them on the same piece of paper thus getting his range of colours from these three primary ones. Later he also used a black plate.
Line Engraving   First used in the 15th century and still for banknotes today, the process uses a copper or steel plate. The design is cut into the plate with a burin or graver with the artist varying the depth of the incision. Deeper incisions cause wider lines. Ink is wiped across the plate filling the engraved lines. Paper is placed over the plate and both are passed through a press to achieve the image. A characteristic is the heightened lines of the design above the surface of the paper.
Margin   An area outside the "plate mark" of an Intaglio print, or outside the printed border of other types of prints.
Before the18th century single sheet prints were almost invariably trimmed to their borders or plate-marks by collectors. A print trimmed just outside the plate-mark is often referred to as having "thread margins".
Monogram  The initials of a name combined in a single design.
Monotype   The artist draws his design in printing ink on a plate or sheet of glass and transfers it to a sheet of paper by running it through a press while the ink is still wet. The process was invented by Giovanni Beneditto Castiglione in the 1640's. It was revived in the 19th century, notably by Degas and continues to appeal to artists for the remarkable effects that can be obtained. Only one strong impression can be made by this process, hence its name, but sometimes a second, weaker impression is also printed.
Oleograph   A 19th century process in which an ordinary colour lithograph was varnished and impressed with a canvas grain to make it look like an oil painting.
Plate Mark   The mark by the edges of an Intaglio Print, where it is forced into the paper when run through the press.
P.F.   French, meaning Pour Féliciter. For an artist a personal way to give somebody his best wishes.
Pochoir   French for stencil. The term is applied to a class of print usually hand-coloured through a series of carefully cut out stencils. This process was much used in Paris during the early decades of the 20th century.
Especially popular in the art deco period, used for fashion plates amongst other things.
Reproof A reproof print is printed from a metal plate (the etched and engraved surface upon which the image is made) and while the paper upon which the image is transferred is still wet and the ink is also still wet, that “proof” is run back through the press with another piece of paper on top of it.  The resulting re-transfer causes the mirror image to be flipped and appear exactly the same as the image on the original engraved plate.

Jacobi Re-proofs" : https://www.jalphegebrewer.info/jacobi-re-proofs. These prints were not restrikes of the artists' plates, but rather photographic reproductions done with the photo-gelatine process, for which Jacobi had a patent from the US Government. It is unknown if such U.S. reproductions may have been authorized by these mostly European artists like T.F. Šimon.

Retroussage A refinement of Intaglio printing used to achieve a softening and more atmospheric effect. Fine muslin pressed lightly over the surface of an inked and wiped plated, catches a small amount of the ink in the lines and draws it slightly upwards, these traces of ink at the side of the lines cause them to lose some of their sharpness of definition when printed.
Signed in the plate The artist signs in the plate in which case the signature appears printed.
Stipple   This means the use of dots and flecks instead of lines as the ink-retaining hollows in copper plate intaglio printing. By varying the size and proximity of the dots it was possible to achieve the most delicate gradations of tone. The obvious reason for its enthusiastic acceptance was the new importance that the 18th century gave to the drawings as distinct from paintings of such fashionable artists as Watteau, Boucher and Fragonard. As with other etching, the first requirement was a copper plate covered with a hard-ground acid resist. The design was outlined by piercing the ground to allow acid to reach and corrode the copper surface in a series of vertical pricks or slanting flicks. Ink retained in these acid-formed hollows was conveyed to damp paper by intense pressure. Sometimes an etching needle was used - or two together - but more often a time saving roulette. This consisted of a tiny wheel on the end of a handle which could be drawn over the waxy ground. Small teeth in the wheel rim produced a regular dotted line.
By the end of the 18th century hundreds of pounds were paid for a plate etched in stipple. Italian born, but lived in England Francesco Bartolozzi became the most well known exponent of stipple prints and they were sometimes printed in colour. The "Cries of London" provide the best known series of stipple and exist in brown or colour.
Stamp   Some printers use sometimes together with their signature a personal stamp as identification. The famous Czech artist Tavik Frantisek Šimon (1877-1942) was one of the first who used stamps. He used stamps with his own mark (his monogram TFS that looks like a Japanese character) in red, green, orange, yellow or blue; there is no significance in the difference of the colour of the stamps.
T F Šimon did not always use the stamp as identification. 
Stav Czech; see State and État.
State   In the process of making a print an artist often takes a few "proofs" at different stages of his working to check progress. Any impression which shows additional working on the plate constitutes a "state".
States are usually created by the printmaker himself, but later additions (such as the address of a later publisher or the reworking of a plate at a later date) also creates new states.
Most catalogue of prints are primarily devoted to describing the changes of state that occurred during the printing of an image. The Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn was seldom satisfied with his etchings and made multiple states.
Stylus   A drawing instrument usually made of cast metal , with a point often at either end. Unlike metal point or lead point, it was used only to impress lines into paper and was frequently employed by artists when beginning to work out a composition, in order to avoid the need to rub out incorrect lines. Stylus is Latin for pen.



Book-Plates:
since the 15th century, distinguished artists and their patrons have given serious attention to this art form. It represents a miniature art developed to adorn books and a convenient, individualized way for the book’s owner to be identified. The book-plate or ex-libris, is a label placed on the inside of the front cover of a book, bearing its owners name and a sign of personal identification. The words ex-libris on a book-plate translate roughly from the Latin as "from the books of" or "from the library of". Many techniques and mediums are used in creation of book-plates. Some include the woodcut, engraving on metal, silkscreen, etching or pen and ink. This, along with the fact that the work is all done in small scale, plays an important part in the execution of these works. Also, utilizing the finest in papers, with hand printing in many examples. Book-plates have been designed by artists and engravers such as Albrecht Dürer, Thomas Bewick, Paul Revere, Kate Greenaway, Aubrey Beardsley, Marc Chagall, M.C. Escher, Tavik František Šimon, Hugo Boettinger, Rockwell Kent, Leonard Baskin, Barry Moser, and others.
Ex-libris enthusiasts have created an international network for the purposes of attaining designs by establishing societies in forty-one countries. Every two years an International Ex Libris Congress is held in a different country inviting members of the world bookplate societies to attend. Under the auspices of the Federation International des Societes d’Amateurs d’Ex Libris (FISAE) one enjoys lectures, slide presentations, exhibitions and sufficient time is allowed for socializing and trading book-plates. In USA is the
The American Society of Bookplate Collectors and Designers.  

Czech Book-Plates: the modern Czech book-plate-making started around the year 1868, with the oldest book-plate for  Knight Vojtech Lanna by Josef Manes. Among the Czech book-plate makers belonged great Czech artists such as Alfons Mucha, Max Švabinský, Vojtech Preissig, Tavik František Šimon, Hugo Boettinger and Mikoláš Aleš. An article in the magazine Moderni Revue of 1897 by the poet and  first collector of bookplates, S. K. Neumann is considered to be the first trace of the organized bookplate-collecting. Since then, the great interest in book markings and collecting them, has continued. Bedřich Benes Buchlovan informs us of as many as five thousand Czech book-plates as early as in 1926. With the time going, the book-plates changed their characteristics and from the book markings of an owner of a book, it had been transformed into a collector's object of interest. Even contemporary artists have nourished the tradition of the book-plate, for example E. Haskova, M. Houra, J. Liesler, J. Pilecek and K. Benes. The Association of Collectors and Friends of Book-plate (Spolecnost Sberatelu a Pratel Exlibris - SSPE) founded in 1918 has contributed greatly to the promotion of book-plates and of book-plate-collecting. The Association issues a magazine quarterly called The Book Marking (Knizni Znacka).
