ABSTRACT

In the history of illustration, prints have played an important role. An illustration of a book that was reproduced from the 9th century to the present day was made through prints. The printing technology using various materials, such as wood, metal, stone, and cloth, was developed in the process of developing the method of expression of illustrations that go into print. However, due to the advent of mass printing machines in modern times, the printing press expression and production methods have lost their place and the space for activities has been greatly reduced. Since 1990, however, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of works that used prints in illustration. This research is an attempt to explore the various possibilities of engraving in the field of illustration by analyzing the engravings that have been used in illustration since the 1990s, noting the phenomenon of active use of engraving, which has not been greatly noted in the process of implementing illustration expression techniques. To this end, the use patterns of illustration using prints since the 1990s are examined in terms of work process, expression technique, production method and art culture, and the effect of this is to suggest easy use and spread of engraving through digital technology grafting, diversification of illustration expression techniques, revival of handmade printing, and renewal of print art culture.
