ABOUT PRINTS MADE FROM ENGRAVINGS:
Images in early newspapers and books were using engraved metal plates. These prints were commonly used to illustrate all kinds of subjects before photographic images began to appear in print around 1900.  Copper or steel plates were carefully engraved to by skilled artist.  These plates were used in the printing process to produce high quality images to illustrate books and newspapers.
