On wood engraving:
"This method of print making requires great skill. On a polished piece of hard wood a design is sketched and carefully incised with a variety of very sharp metal tools, including a "graver" or "burin." Typically, the artist sees his composition as a design with black lines on a white background (line method) or white lines on a black background."
