I find it impossible to believe she could ink in black backgrounds for the multiple fine white lines she drew!! Did she use black scratch board perhaps?<br />I do not know if black scratch board was even available when she was active.<br />I am beginning a work that includes dozens of plants and animals and I am hoping to produce a similar sharp clear taxonomically correct effect. I still have my copy of AWB and have examined the illustrations with a hand lens to try and crack the puzzle of her wonderfull technique. I would so much appreciate a reply if possible.

This can be seen in the chapter heading drawing for Chapter 10 and 12 and following drawings in Animals Without Backbones. The Buchsbaum originals were published in 1939. My father, Ralph Buchsbaum, visited Escher in the Netherlands and Escher showed him his edition of Animals Without Backbones. The Escher Flatworms (Catalogue 431) is dated 1959. The Grasshopper by Elizabeth Buchsbaum was also published in 1939 but the Escher print Grasshopper (Catalogue 271) is dated 1935.
