Poet and art critic Charles Baudelaire was the first to employ the term "modernity" to signify the experience of contemporary urban life, characterized by “the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent,” which he argued was the special duty of contemporary artists to capture. He posed for many portraits by his friend, the famous photographer Nadar. Manet, a friend to both men, then transformed the photograph into an etching, animated by a dense swirl of short lines.
Beneath the image, Manet is identified as both artist and etcher on the left, with the printer identified at right.

prints
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 the simple term "prints." With regard to photographs, prefer "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."
