	Wood Engraving - LoveToKnow 1911
		Wood engraving, then, is really nothing but that primitive block-cutting which prepared for the printer the letters in relief now replaced by movable types, and the only difference between a delicate modern woodcut and the rude letters in the first printed books is a difference of artistic skill and knowledge.
		The wood engraving of the 16th century was a singularly positive art, as positive as carving; indeed, most of the famous woodcuts of that time might be translated into carved panels without much loss of character.
		Wood engraving in the first three quarters of the 19th century had no special character of its own, nothing like Bewick's work, which had a character derived from the nature of the process; but on the other hand, the modern art is set to imitate every kind of engraving and every kind of drawing.

	Wood engraving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The outlines of the design to be engraved were put down on a side of smooth-grained wood, and, usually with a knife, the excess surface of the wood block (all but the lines) would be cut away, a process called blocking.
		The technique of wood engraving was further developed, roughly 350 years later, at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, with the works of Thomas Bewick.
		Since wood engraving is a relief process while metal engraving is an intaglio technique, wood engravings could be used on conventional print presses, which were themselves making rapid mechanical improvements during the first quarter of the 19th century.

	Engraving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The result may be a decorative object in itself, as when silver or gold are engraved, or may provide an intaglio plate, when copper is engraved, or a relief print block when wood is engraved.
		In antiquity, the only engraving that could be carried out is evident in the shallow grooves found in some jewellery after the beginning of the 1st Millennium B.C. The majority of so-called engraved designs on ancient gold rings or other items were produced by chasing or sometimes a combination of lost-wax casting and chasing.
		Engravings continued to be common in newspapers and many books into the early 20th century, as they were long cheaper to mass reproduce than photo images.

	WOOD ENGRAVING
		Thomas Bewick, born in England in 1753, was apprenticed as an engraver on metal at the age of fourteen.
		Wood engravings could not only stand up to lengthy pressruns (sometimes 500,000 impressions!) but had the advantage of being able to be locked up and printed with the type.
		Today, wood engraving is little used to depict daily life around the globe (television does it much better) but it is enjoying a resurgence of interest among visual artists and letterpress printers alike.

		Nonetheless, wood engraving is a form of relief printing that differs from traditional woodcut in the use of end-grain blocks and in the standardization of their thickness.
		Hallmarks of the technique include a "vocabulary" of white lines throughout, indicating that the print is a relief print (in which the marks made by the wood engraving tool are un-inked, being lower than the surface of the block).
		White lines are especially evident in areas where the wood engraving tool has been used for cross-hatching, revealing a grid of white lines (for a good example look at the light passages in the clouds above the woman's head).
