Henry Farrer etching, c 1875
- ... that the Etching Revival that began in the 1850s ended when prices collapsed after the 1929 Wall Street crash? Source: Not the ones used in the article, but pp 25-26 here cover the collapse
- ALT1 that Charles Baudelaire deplored the Etching Revival and its amateur lady artists as "A typically British craze, a passing mania which would bode ill for us"?

5x expanded by Johnbod (talk). Self-nominated at 18:01, 3 September 2020 (UTC).
@Johnbod: This article has been expanded since August 24 but it is not long enough to qualify as a 5x expansion. It was 3566 characters before expansion began and is now 11k. The image is suitably licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. (I had to withdraw a nomination recently because I had forgotten how large the article had been before I started working on it, however, you are welcome to expand it further if you wish.)

- Ok, thanks. I think I'll give it a go. Johnbod (talk) 12:22, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
- Now "Prose size (text only): 20552 characters (3381 words) "readable prose size"", although I don't know if the thingy deducts for quotes, of which there are some. Should be ok I think. Johnbod (talk) 14:47, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Johnbod: Thank you, it is long enough now, and either hook could be used. Earwig doesn't like the article at all, but that's because this site copied (without attribution) most of the article text before your expansion began. We just need a QPQ to wind up the nomination.

- Thanks, done. Johnbod (talk) 18:04, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
