What is an "engraving"?
An engraving is a block or plate made from a hard material, such as metal, wood, or glass, that has been carved with a design or image. The carved areas on the surface are used to create detailed prints or impressions. When ink is applied to the carved surface and pressed onto paper or another material, the design transfers from the carved areas, resulting in a high-quality print. Engravings are valued for their ability to produce fine, precise details and are commonly used for creating art prints, illustrations, and decorative items.
