| Wood Engravings
A wood engraving, a very old, painstaking process, is made
by cutting each line into the end grain of a block of smooth.
level wood. Each cut line will print as a white line. Uncut
areas print as black.
Wood Engraving is a very old, painstaking process. The Sears
Catalog and old advertising images were done as wood engravings
during the 1800's. Wood engraving allows fine detail. Sometimes
the blocks show fine cracks as they age and they are a part
of the wear on the block. |
