Anderson, who had apprenticed with his father, a silver engraver, turned to artistic engraving in 1929. This unforgiving medium required forethought and multiple preliminary studies before Anderson began engraving into the copper printing plate.
"Though an Anderson engraving is planned largely and seems so easily set upon the plate, there is nothing casual or perfunctory in its making. Its appearance of ease rests not only on its composition, but on a series of careful, conscientious studies of all separate details and incidents. By those means he can make hands or a back speak eloquently as in The Reading Room."
