Silver Information

An engraving in terms of prints was developed during the 15th Century. The process is carried out by using metal plates, usually copper. The design in engraved into it using a tool called a "burin". This tool is used by the engraver to cut an image from a series of lines which vary in width and depth. The deeper the line, the more ink is used to produce a darker tone. Engraving is a work of art in its own right. Below is a list of famous engravers. This list will grow over time as this site becomes more developed.
