As of today, we have found 105 different prints by Jean-Pierre Velly, at first etched on zinc but soon enough on copper plates, usually executed with the chisel (engraving) or hard ground, and often a combination of both techniques. He also made two mezzotints (71 and 95), used the drypoint on several occasions; aquatint appear only on two works (76 and 87). The catalogue of etchings of Velly by Didier Bodart (1980) covers 82 prints; are absent from this catalogue 1, 2,29,30,46,49,82, 85,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105 and naturally all etchings done after the publication (released in 1980) : 91,92,93,94,95,96.

We therefore present here all of our findings including unpublished etchings and some early pieces that still as of today have not been retrieved.
