Engraving
- A method of cutting or incising a design into a material,
usually metal, with a sharp tool called a graver. One of the
intaglio methods of making prints, in engraving, a print can be
made by inking such an incised (engraved) surface. It may also
refer to a print produced in this way. Most contemporary
engraving is done in the production of currency, certificates,
etc.
The term 'engraving'
is too often confused with that of etching. (Artlex) |
