Engraving In Webster's Dictionary
\En*grav"ing\, n.
1. The act or art of producing upon hard material incised or
raised patterns, characters, lines, and the like;
especially, the art of producing such lines, etc., in the
surface of metal plates or blocks of wood. Engraving is
used for the decoration of the surface itself; also, for
producing an original, from which a pattern or design may
be printed on paper.
2. That which is engraved; an engraved plate.
3. An impression from an engraved plate, block of wood, or
other material; a print.
Note: Engraving on wood is called xylography; on copper,
chalcography; on stone lithography. Engravings or
prints take from wood blocks are usually called wood
cuts, those from stone, lithographs.
