Summary

Goulding was an English printer and print-maker. He had a reputation as an intaglio printer working for artists such as James McNeil Whistler and Samuel Palmer. He later acquired a lithographic press and was commissioned by Whistler’s executrix to print posthumous editions of Whistler’s lithographs in 1903-4.

Glossary

  • Intaglio

    Is the generic term used to describe printing from a surface (most commonly a copper, zinc or steel plate) which holds ink in the grooves, textures or pitted areas which have been cut, scratched or etched. In order to obtain a print, ink is pushed into the incisions on the plate and the non-printed area wiped clean before being laid over with a piece of dampened paper and rolled through an etching press. (See also Etching; Drypoint; Engraving; Aquatint; Mezzotint)
