Commercial artists were under immense pressure to deliver a quality product as quickly as possible. If you’ve ever attempted a pen and ink drawing featuring cross-hatching, you can lose hours during the process as you painstakingly scratch away at your work. But remember that wood engraving requires the use of sharp wood carving tools with the added caveat that mistakes were impossible to correct.

However, capitalism to the rescue! The halftone process that evolved slowly through the mid to late 1900s involved exposing images onto a metal photo plate through a course screen, resulting in an image consisting of dots of various sizes. This plate would then be processed and etched and ready for the press.
