This study explores areas such as note, map, stamp, and book plate engraving, mezzotint and aquatint, the casing of books and most present day usage. The main focus of the book is on engraving and engravers but Basil Hunnisett also describes the context of their work: the artists, the print industry, paper manufacture and publishing. He describes the activities of print publishers, including the Art Unions and provides a review of steel engraving in Europe and America.
