Printmaking: Intaglio print

My recent visit to Cardiff, Wales inspired the motif of a Welsh mining village with chimney stacks belching dirty smoke, the miners' houses in rows on the hillside, village church and the mine owner's mansion well at a distance in a parklike setting. 
I wasn't thinking of any identifiable place, the print Welsh Town is more a summary of my impressions.
As for the printing technique, please refer to the entry of 11 February 2010.
