What is "wood engraving"?

Wood engraving is a printing technique where an image is carved into a piece of wood. The areas that are raised on the wood surface are inked, while the carved-out parts are left uninked. When the inked wood is pressed onto paper, the image transfers from the raised parts, creating a detailed print. This method is known for its fine lines and clear detail, making it popular for illustrations in books and art prints.
