This object has the following keywords:

• black-and-white - The range of monochromatic colors including blacks, grays, and whites. Examples are monochromatic images, usually prints, photographic images, or television.
• etchings - Prints made from an etched printing plate, which is a metal plate on which a design is made by coating the plate with an acid-resistant substance, creating a design in the coating, and then exposing the plate to acid, which etches the plate where the metal is exposed. For designs incised directly into a copper plate using a burin or graver, use "engravings (prints)."
• Homo sapiens - Members of the species to which all modern human beings belong. Homo sapiens is one of several species grouped into the genus Homo, but it is the only one that is not extinct. The name "Homo sapiens" was applied in 1758 by Carolus Linnaeus, who distinguished humans from their close cousins, the apes. The large fossil record now contains numerous extinct species that are much more closely related to humans than to today's apes and that were presumably more similar to us behaviorally as well.
