The history of engraving from its inception to the time of Thomas Bewick
A survey of printmaking from early European line engraving and woodcut to Thomas Bewick, written by Stanley Austin and published in 1908 by Scribner in New York and Laurie in London for collectors and students of prints. Plates reproduce fifteenth-century engravings with scrolled banderoles, block-book woodcuts of figures in landscape, drypoint head studies, and stipple portraits, offering line textures, hatching patterns and costume detail.
