The history of engraving
The technique emerged in the 15th century as the art of engraving on copper or other metal. It happens through several processes, the oldest being engraving directly on the metal with a steel instrument called a burin.
The emergence of new needs promoted the development of the chalcography technique, which began to be used by the printing industry as a means of producing books and newspapers.
