Daubigny developed the process dubbed "la cravate" - as described by Melot "this is a way of obtaining an effect like aquatint through the use of a soft varnish on which is laid a piece of silk. When peeled off, the cloth leaves the imprint of its weave on the soft ground, and if the operation is done delicately the weave will show up in the acid-biting and give a tint to the inking."
