How engravings and paintings are framed.
Printed Engraving

- This is the copper plate on the left that was used
to print the engraving. The engraving is on the right, shown
after printing and before matting.
- The picture of the plate is larger than the image on the
paper to show more of the detail.
- The paper is cut with enough room to leave a good margin to work with.
- Notice the engraving is reversed into a mirror image of
the plate.
