photoengraving
Image transfer technique
Photoengraving is a process for making printing plates by transferring a photographic image onto a metal surface, then etching away the unexposed areas with acid.
The technique was central to newspaper and magazine illustration before digital printing.
The term also refers to a plate or print made by this process: The book's photoengravings have held up remarkably well.
