Stamp Karel Svolinský (1896–1986) it reflects the thematic directions:

An engraver is a skilled craftsman who uses various types of groove cutting tools and machines, such as etchers, to create intricate art and designs. Engravers carefully carve beautiful symbols and words on wood, metal, or other materials.

Engraving is the practice of incising a design on a hard, usually flat surface by cutting grooves into it with a burin. The result may be a decorated object in itself, as when silver, gold, steel, or glass are engraved, or may provide an intaglio printing plate, of copper or another metal, for printing images on paper as prints or illustrations; these images are also called "engravings". Engraving is one of the oldest and most important techniques in printmaking. Wood engravings, a form of relief printing and stone engravings, such as petroglyphs, are not covered in this article.
