found: Grove art online, Oxford art online, September 5, 2016(Wood-engraving; Type of relief print related to the woodcut, and the process by which it is made. The two processes are, however, quite distinct, despite the terms 'woodcut' and 'wood-engraving' having been used synonymously to refer to any image printed from a wooden surface. Although it was probably used first in the 17th century, it was not until the 18th that wood-engraving could be identified confidently as a distinct engraving process ... The boxwood block is made from roundels cut across the grain, so that the closely formed growth rings of the tree are clearly apparent on the surface of the prepared block. By working against this grain the wood-engraver is able to execute very fine work.)
