David GraylessEngraving is the practice of incising a design on a hard, usually flat surface by cutting grooves into it with a #burin. The result may be a decorated object in itself, as when silver, gold, steel, or #glass are engraved, or may provide an #intaglio printing plate, of copper or another metal, for printing images on paper as prints or illustrations; these images are also called "engravings". Engraving is one of the oldest and most important techniques in #printmaking. #WoodEngravings.
