Lalanne is well-known for his standard book on the technique of etching "Traite de la gravure a l'eau-forte" from 1866
She received the treatise from her teacher Philippe Zilcken but she hardly ever took a look at it
Robertson became a member of the Dutch etching club in 1889 but as far as we know never exposed any etchings whatsoever
However she probably designed this drawing as a reference to the etching club in general and more specific to Zilcken
