This short movie shows the development of a bookplate or ex libris from the initial sketches, through the engraving of the woodblock and, finally different states of the printed plate until the job was finished. Detailed work can take a day to finish a square inch. This 3 x 4 inch block took about a week.

  • Wouldn't you have to engrave the letters in reverse?
