"Vanish aquatints and
mezzotints—as chimneys that consume their own
smoke, devour yourselves. Steel engravers, copper
engravers, and etchers, drink up your aquafortis, and
die! There is an end of your black art."

The Corsair. A Gazette of Literature, Art, Dramatic Criticism, Fashion and Novelty (New-York) Vol. 1, No. 5 (Saturday, 13 April 1839) pp. 70-72
