To formulate plans 10 white Lekythoi the Archaeological Museum of Athens, this unique project of its kind, he's Kefallinos wrote: .... The only engraving tool would yield precisely the play of the line and the variety of color and tone was his engraving: the rotgut shallow as the chisel on strengths. [....] By aquatint then ask n 'attribute diffuse the patina and clouds of dust weather. For colors, finally, I preferred the woodcut: so what colors plates. [....] The definition of "lekythoi" lasted some three years. The time factor has always perfection, at least for the works of our art. The good performance not tolerate any economy.
