* According to artlex.com: "Remarque - In printmaking, most often in etchings, a sketch originally made by the artist on the margin of the plate to test the tools before immersing the entire plate in the acid bath. Because such remarques were originally intended to be scraped or burnished away before the final edition of the plate is printed, a print with a remarque is often called a remarque proof. In the nineteenth century such remarques came to be so valued that they were often retained as part of the finished print. The subjects of these little drawings typically relate in some way to the larger image."
