Wood Engraving is a refinement of the technique of woodcut, the carving of a design into a block of wood by cutting away all parts of the wood which are not part of the design so that when ink is applied to the design and the block is pressed against a sheet of paper, a reversed print of the design is left on the paper. In other words, the raised parts of the block -- those not carved away -- pick up ink and transfer it to the paper. The quality which distinguishes woodcuts from wood engravings is that the former are created on the side of a plank of wood where an engraving is done on the end grain. This allows for finer detail in the image.
