From [Copperplate Print]

… There are two main types of engraving: the first is to directly process the plate surface with tools, and the second is to obtain engraved lines by etching with nitric acid or other chemicals. Of the former, the burin (a type of chisel used to engrave copperplate) is the oldest and was the most highly regarded until the 19th century.

In the early period, unsigned prints were common, but the main printmakers in the upper reaches of the Rhine were the "Painter of the Playing Cards," the "ES Painter," M. Schongauer, and the "L.Cz. Painter," while in the lower reaches they included the "Painter of the Garden of Love," the "FVB Painter," Meckenem, L. van Leyden, and in Italy A. Pollaiuolo and A. Mantegna. Next came the prints of Germany's Dürer, who became widely known in Europe.
