engraving
An engraving is a picture that has been printed from a plate on which designs have been cut. a color engraving of oranges and lemons. Any of various processes of cutting a design into a plate or block of metal or wood. The cutting is done by a graver, or burin, on a copper, zinc, aluminum, or magnesium plate, and the design is printed with a roller press from ink rubbed into the incised grooves. Wood engraving derives from the woodcut, but the use of the hard, smooth boxwood, cut with the burin commonly used by the copper-plate engraver, produces a finer, more detailed image. By contrast with engraving from metal plates, the printing of wood engravings is done from the surface of the plate or block; the parts that are not to be printed are cut away. See also etching
engraving

engraving
An Intaglio technique similar to drypoint When engraving, the artist cuts his design directly into the metal plate The depth and thickness of the line can be altered by hand pressure As in the other intaglio methods, ink gathers in the recessed areas Dampened paper is then pressed against the plate to absorb the ink and produce an image in reverse
