This publication serves as both a historical account and a practical guide, focusing on the evolution of various engraving techniques such as wood and metal engraving as well as etching and mezzotint. The book seeks to illuminate the distinctions between different forms of engraving and their artistic and commercial applications throughout history. In this comprehensive overview, Kirkbride explores the origins and development of engraving, tracing its roots from primitive incised drawings to sophisticated methods used in the early 1900s. The text discusses prominent engravers like Albert Durer and Thomas Bewick, detailing their influence on the craft, while also examining the tools and techniques that define engraving as an art form. Through its chapters, the book tackles themes like artistic expression versus commercial utility, the role of the engraver in interpreting the artist's vision, and the technical advancements in the field. Kirkbride's work emphasizes not only the craftsmanship involved in engraving but also its significance in the broader landscape of art and illustration.
