- Czech - Refers to the culture of the modern nation of the Czech Republic, or in general to cultures that have occupied the area of the modern nation in central Europe. It is also used to refer broadly to the culture of the Bohemian people.
- etching (printing process) - Intaglio process in which the design is worked into an acid-resistant substance coating the metal printing plate; the plate is then exposed to acid, which etches the plate where the metal is exposed, to create lines and dark areas. For the single step of exposing the plate to acid, use "biting."
- etchings (prints) - Prints made from an etched printing plate, which is a metal plate on which a design is made by coating the plate with an acid-resistant substance, creating a design in the coating, and then exposing the plate to acid, which etches the plate where the metal is exposed. For designs incised directly into a copper plate using a burin or graver, use "engravings (prints)."
- paper (fiber product) - Refers generally to all types of matted or felted sheets or webs of fiber formed and dried on a fine screen from a pulpy water suspension. The fibers may be animal, such as hair, silk or wool, or mineral, such as asbestos, or synthetic. However most paper is made from cellulosic plant fiber, such as from wood pulp, grass, cotton, linen, and straw.
- prints (visual works) - Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use just "prints." With regard to photographs, see "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."
- soft ground (etching ground) - Etching ground containing grease so that it does not harden.
- soft-ground etching (process) - Printing process in which the ground is mixed with a soft substance, such as tallow, allowing the rendering of textured lines and areas when the plate is etched. Sometimes, paper is placed over the grounded plate and drawn on, to pick up the ground.
- soft-ground etchings (visual works) - Prints made using the process of soft-ground etching.
