The acid lightly etches areas not covered with the resin. The results in a plate with fine pockmarks. The process was invented in the 1760s by J.B. LePrince. Aquatints were popular until the late 1830s. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:50:18</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31410247</termId><termName>aquatinting</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31371543</termId><termName>etching</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation><relation><relationType>NT</relationType><termId>31436487</termId><termName>lift-ground</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation><relation><relationType>RT</relationType><termId>31435180</termId><termName>aquatinters</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation><relation><relationType>RT</relationType><termId>31467262</termId><termName>aquatints</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
