This, IMHO is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT in the question that we are locking at. Not only in relationship to The "British Islands" but in any discussion, trying to understand the dynamics (creation, acceptance, demise & resurgence, of it's arts.
My next "major" post is going to present a "UNIQUE" "CANVAS" That one form of
ENGRAVING that the Highland Scots used. Then I will present some of that ENGRAVING.
It is my HOPE, that you individuals, who are engravers will

2. the possible influences
3. The techniques
