The Dartmouth Portraits aer reworked plates from an earlier drypoint self portrait series done in 1971. For the second set, Dine used the same plates, the same theme and, in most cases, a similar image size and position. The 1971 Self Portrait plates were effaced with an oscillating sander. Shadows of the earlier image remained, over which Dine drew and etched another self portrait on each of the plates. Adjacent impressions on each page of the catalogue were pulled from the same plate.
