At Rembrandt's death in 1669, many of his etching plates had been
cancelled or destroyed, with only a couple usuable plates remaining.
By the 1800's these few surviving plates for Rembrandt's etchings
were worn flat and in very poor condition.

Armand Durand, a noted and very respected engraver, dedicated the
major part of his life re-creating early etchings from the masters. He
  researched and studied those pieces available in museums and private
  collections, especially the 1st and 2nd state etchings of the original works.

  Armand then duplicated the images onto new copper plates, achieving
 incredible clarity and accuracy through his own technical abilities. Durand's
etchings have been purchased by major collectors throughout Europe, as
well as the Louvre Museum in Paris and the French Biblioteque Nationale.

 Durand published all the great etchings of the masters, including a complete
set of very fine reproductions of all 347 etchings of Rembrandt, known as: Armand Durand's after Rembrandt.
