I should have added this. Get a copy of one of my books. Read the biographies of the engravers and look at their work. You will see that there are no overnight wonders there. One thing that I have found in common with all top engravers that I have interviewed and written about is that they were all interested in artistic things from a very early age. The engraving may have developed many years later but the artistic urge was there from the beginning.
