What is engraving and printmaking?
Engraving is a printmaking technique in which an image prepared on a surface is transferred to paper or another support.
Origins, forms and everyday life
Metal, wood and other matrices leave different marks; a print differs technically from a drawing. Cutting, inking and pressure shape the result. Multiple impressions are part of the production process.
Meaning, change and safeguarding
Collections should assess process, matrix, edition details and paper condition. Everyday use of the word can be broad; identifying the precise method improves interpretation.
