I do not mean to hijack Arnaud's Thread, however I thought this point important enough, it deserves its own Thread, so anybody interested in Bolino would see it..
See Arnaud Van Tilburgh's Posts, My first Bulino / banknote portrait engraving And the Website of Italian engravers.

If you want to see some Very Beautiful Engraving Pictures, Very High Resolution Photographs, Wonderful Work, Perfect Examples of Bulino, Check out to the website.
The Photo's are of such high resolution, and quality, you can cut out a Bulino animal, blow up the photograph in Photoshop and see exactly how they produced the different colors, (shades) with both cuts and dot's.
Go to the Web Site, Inglesina page, Fifth photo, of the Bald Eagle, cut it out, blow it up and you can see exactly how the Engraver used graver cuts to produced the different colors (from Black to White).
I hope if they see this Post the Engraver will understand, I do not mean to knock this Engravers work, ( It Is Outstanding ).
However on his FEGA Video ( Bulino Techniques ) Chris DeCamillis emphasizes the point.
Do Not scratch your design on the Metal.
Unless you sand out the scratch, It Will still be there, even If you cut over it.
You can see the background design, through the Eagle Image (See the large circle).
You can see the design even where the Engraver has shaded over the background design (See small circles).
This is the first example I have seen to know exactly what Chris was talking about.
