Scope note
Refers to prints having remarques, which are doodles or sketches by the artist outside the main design. While remarques were originally used to test the strength of the acid on a plate and then burnished away, since the nineteenth century they are sometimes deliberately kept in printed editions to produce rarities for collectors.
