#TBT Know Your Design History: Metal versus Wood Engraving
by Nancy Sharon Collins \ April 24, 2014
It is important to illustrate the distinction between engravings created by cutting into copper or steel and those made with wood because it is easy to confuse the two processes.

#TBT Know Your Design History: Engraver, communicator of content
by Nancy Sharon Collins \ March 27, 2014

This article, written for AIGA New Orleans chapter, provides highlights of the article’s juicier content, in addition to quotes from the May 9, 2013 IQ Overview by Intellectbooks, and my book, ‘The Complete Engraver: A Guide to Monograms, Crests, Ciphers, Seals, and the Etiquette and History of Social Stationery’, published by Princeton Architectural Press in September, 2012.
