<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4251398, member: 8267"]"Engraving" refers to the metal plates (either copper or steel) that were used to produce the prints. The prints themselves will appear fairly smooth. But there may be what is called a "plate mark" around the border of the images, which is an impression left by the metal plate when it is pressed into the paper to print the image. If these are original prints from engraved plates, there should be a plate mark, unless the edges have been trimmed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
