Instead of merely symbolizing the work of the artist, the engraver now makes use of all methods by which he can fix on the block, as accurately and perfectly as possible, the original picture that has been put in his hands for...

Just here came in the assistance of photography, by which the paintings or drawings on canvas or on paper were transferred directly to the wood.
