Owls by Reverend F.O. Morris! Find the antique owl print you are looking for. 

How were these antique owl prints produced?

FIRST… The original illustrations were transferred onto boxwood plates. Each wood plate measured about 1″ thick. Each slab was engraved with special engraver’s tools known as burins. When the engraving was finished to satisfaction, it was inked up with black ink. The inked boxwood plate was pressed onto a high quality piece of paper. After the ink dried, the water color illumination was added by hand.
