Excerpt from Process Engraving: Formulas, Equipment, and Methods of Working
Before the invention of movable types, which made printing, as we now understand it, possible, pages were cut and printed as a whole, and rough illustrations, or initial letters, or bits of ornament were cut with the type and all printed together. In this way the page was one complete integer; the illustrations were as much a part of the printed page as the letters were, and everything was combined into a harmonious, and, sometimes, very beautiful whole.
