	Gerard Edelinck - LoveToKnow 1911
		GERARD EDELINCK (1649-1707), Flemish copper-plate engraver, was born at Antwerp.
		The rudiments of the art, which he was to carry to a higher pitch of excellence than it had previously reached, he acquired in his native town under the engraver Cornelisz Galle.
		Edelinck was especially good as an engraver of portraits, and executed prints of many of the most eminent persons of his time.

		Engravers themselves must have owned or had access to rolling-presses for proofing, and it is interesting that it was the engraver David Loggan who supplied one of the rolling-presses to Bishop Fell’s press in Oxford in 1669.
		Engravers could and no doubt did undertake edition work for booksellers in the seventeenth century, but it does seem there were also specialist copper-plate printing firms.
		The only way to obtain sufficient pressure for copper plate printing is by the use of rollers, because with rollers the pressure generated by the press is concentrated in a line that moves across the plate, rather than being spread over the whole surface.

	Learn about engraving and intaglio
		A plate of soft metal is used, most often copper, and the design engraved (cut into) into the surface using a tool called a "burin" which is a square tool-steel rod, sharpened diagonally at one end, such that the prominent corner becomes an effective and controllable cutting edge.
		The highly skilled engraver uses the burin to cut an image, as a series of lines of varying width and depth, that are a translation of the tones and shadings of the artists original work.
		While copper is in many ways an ideal metal for engraving, it's softness which enables it to be cut with reasonable freedom, is a disadvantage, when it comes to printing from the finished plate.

		Many engravers may send the appropriate piece of wood to the "designer" where in he throws the wood into a drawer, and pulls out whatever piece he grabs first of the correct size for the drawing (565).
		The attitude of the artist to the engraver is often that of an architect to a carpenter, one with a vision the other championing the practical.
		The space between designer and engraver was bridged in many such workshops, in that the master engravers took in artists as apprentices who only wanted to learn how to draw on wood in a way to suit the engraver, and did not intend to engrave their own work.

		Sometimes a large wall map would be engraved in sections on four, six, or more copper plates, and printed on separate sheets of paper, which could be joined to make a larger map.
