Aquatint is an intaglio printmaking technique from a copper plate where whole areas are evenly hollowed out to give a uniform tint and by this method a variety of tones are achieved throughout the print. Ackermann was largely responsible for the introduction of lithography to Britain and the promotion of the coloured aquatint.
