- jsmith99 6y agoI originally assumed it wasn't a woodcut because the woodcuts I've seen were mostly simpler, and I confirmed it by googling the artist. I now know that woodcuts can rival etchings in complexity, but looking at the biography of the artist he was an etcher who copied the engraved style. The British Museum confirms itsw an etching https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1867-1012-510 https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1867-1012-...
