FAQs

A 19th-century portrait engraving is a printmaking art form created by incising an image into a metal plate, typically steel or copper, which is then inked and impressed onto paper to produce multiple copies.

These prints were produced using cotton rag paper and carbon-based inks, housed within timber frames finished with gold leaf or plaster gilding and protected behind glass.

Authentic period engravings feature a distinct plate impression mark along the border of the image, visible cross-hatching lines under magnification, and natural paper aging such as light foxing.

A framed portrait engraving can be incorporated into a gallery wall alongside modern monochrome sketches or displayed individually in a home office or hallway for visual interest.

To preserve an antique print, display it away from direct sunlight and moisture, utilizing acid-free mount boards and UV-filtering glass to prevent discolouration.
