The general term for incising lines directly into a metal plate or, in the case of wood engraving, an end grain block of hard wood, in intaglio, engraving differs from etching in that the plate is not grounded, and it is the pressure of the tool, not the use of an acid bath, that creates the lines in the metal top
> The method used to inscribe metal surfaces or to add decorations  A 'graver' cuts thin furrows into the surface after a certain pattern, thereby removing a small amount of metal (unlike chasing)
A form of printing whereby an image is created by scoring a stamping plate with a carving tool The inked plate transfers the image in reverse onto the paper or fabric
{i} art of carving out letters or designs on hard surfaces
Method for printing in which a design is cut or etched into a metal plate; these cuts are then filled with ink and transferred directly to paper
Engraving is used for the decoration of the surface itself; also, for producing an original, from which a pattern or design may be printed on paper
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
This is probably the oldest of the intaglio processes The design is cut into a hard surface usually metal, with a sharp tool called a burin which carves a line of varying with and depth This line when inked and printed is clear and sharp This prosess is also used in the designs of bank notes, postage stamps, etc
n 1 An artistic process by which a plate is carved with a sharp tool and filled with ink to transfer the ink to the paper 2 Artwork made from such a process
An intaglio technique in which a metal plate is manually incised with a burin, an engraving tool with a V-shaped metal shaft Depending on the angle and degree of pressure with which they were scooped out of the metal (usually copper) plate, the incised lines may vary in width and darkness when printed The result is a very steady and considered line, with crisp edges where the burin has cut through the metal
An impression from an engraved plate, block of wood, or other material; a print
making engraved or etched plates and printing designs from them
This is probably the oldest of the intaglio processes The design is cut into a hard surface, usually metal, with a sharp tool called a burin which carves a line out of the metal very cleanly, giving a clear and sharp final line This process is used in the design of bank notes, postage stamps, etc
in the surface of metal plates or blocks of wood
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
(1) The art of producing a depressed design on a wood or metal block by cutting it in with a tool (2) The impression or image made from such a wood or metal block by ink that fills the design Compare burin, etching, woodcut
a print made by cutting a design into a metal plate with a pointed steel tool known as a burin The plate is inked, and the ink wiped off, except for that remaining in the groove Then the plate, covered with a damp sheet of paper, is run through a heavy press to reproduce an image the reverse of that on the plate
- the lines of a drawing are cut into a metal plate (always copper in the seventeenth century) with a sharp v-shaped metal instrument called a graver or burin The completed plate would then be covered with ink and the surface wiped, the incised lines retaining ink The inked design would then be transferred to a sheet of wet paper as both plate and paper were run through a roller press under pressure The plate would then be re-inked for each impression
a technique of cutting into the surface of glass with a metal or stone wheel to create lines or forms, such as portraits
Printing technique in which an intaglio image is produced by cutting a metal plate or box directly with a sharp engraving tool The incised lines are linked and printed with the heavy pressure
Glass can be engraved with numerous patterns Our glass is engraved freehand -- a task which requires precision, an eye for proportion, and a steady hand The design is produced step by step The proper bit must be chosen for each detail in the design This means that a complicated design requires the use of several different bits Because the design usually consists of flowers, leaves, bows, and so forth, the process is sometimes called "blomslipning" or "floral engraving" in Swedish
A printing process whereby images such as copy or art are etched onto a plate When ink is applied, these etched areas act as small wells to hold the ink; paper is forced against this die and the ink is lifted out of the etched areas creating raised images on the paper
An engraving is a picture or design that has been cut into a surface
Precise grooves are cut into the plate with a sharp tool called a burin; widely used for early reproductive printmaking
process of cutting into the surface of the metal for decorative effect This method is widely used for inscriptions, coats of arms and ornament A variety of effects are achieved by using different cutting tools
A printing process whereby lines are incised on a highly polished metal plate by means of a sharp-pointed instrument, diamond-shaped in cross section, called a burin or graver The tool works like a plough cutting a furrow The strength of the line may be increased by cutting deeper The burin is held in a fixed position and, to produce a curved line, the plate itself is turned This makes engraving a slow and painstaking technique producing controlled, formal results
making engraved or etched plates and printing designs from them a block or plate that has been engraved a print made from an engraving
designs achieved by cutting the surface of metal by the use of sharp tools, called gravers, which remove small amounts of metal
Printing method using a metal plate (die) with an image carved into it
(English) The cutting of a design into a metal surface Engraved metal plates were used in printing, and the resulting print on paper is also called an engraving
