Last Folio for brass engraving
Left the final file at Corel Draw. Left Front, right Back, and the two on the right side are the folio before bring them on the brass sheet. On the final two images right, all black parts are gone after put them into the etch. The white parts will remain. But to draw its easier to have the remain parts in Corel Draw black.
