In what material are Doré's illustrations often duplicated?
Gold leaf
Brass
Steel
Titanium
Answer
Steel engraving is a technique for reproducing an illustration by incising the image into a metal plate, usually steel, and then inking the plate and printing it. Doré's illustrations are often duplicated in this manner, as the steel plate can withstand the wear and tear of printing presses better than other materials. The resulting prints are of high quality and detail, and can be reproduced in large quantities.
