Hence, "centers for woodblock playing-card and religious-print production became centers for illustrated books.<sup id="cite_ref-Meggs_2006_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Meggs_2006-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Printers of large early books often reused several times, and also had detachable "plugs" of figures, or the attributes of saints, which they could rearrange within a larger image to make several variations.<sup id="cite_ref-Mayor_1971_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mayor_1971-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 26–34">: 26–34 </span></sup> Luxury books were for a few decades often printed with blank spaces for manual illumination in the old way. </p><p>Unlike later techniques, woodcut uses <a href="/wiki/Relief_printing" title="Relief printing">relief printing</a> just as metal <a href="/wiki/Moveable_type" class="mw-redirect" title="Moveable type">moveable type</a> does, so that pages including both text and illustration can be set up and printed together. However the technique either gives rather crude results or was expensive if a high-quality block-cutter was used, and could only manage fine detail on atypically large pages. It was not suitable for the level of detail required for maps, for example, and the 1477 Bolognese edition of <a href="/wiki/Ptolemy" title="Ptolemy">Ptolemy</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Geography_(Ptolemy)" title="Geography (Ptolemy)"><i>Cosmographia</i></a> was both the first book to contain printed maps and the first to be illustrated by engravings (by <a href="/wiki/Taddeo_Crivelli" title="Taddeo Crivelli">Taddeo Crivelli</a>) rather than woodcuts.<sup id="cite_ref-Landau-Parshall_1996_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Landau-Parshall_1996-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However hardly any further engraved illustrations were produced for several decades after about 1490, and instead a style of expensive books decorated in <a href="/wiki/Metalcut" title="Metalcut">metalcut</a>, mostly religious and produced in Paris, was a popular luxury product between about 1480 and 1540.<sup id="cite_ref-Mayor_1971_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mayor_1971-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 247–252">: 247–252 </span></sup> In the middle of the 16th century woodcut was gradually overtaken by the <a href="/wiki/Intaglio_printing" class="mw-redirect" title="Intaglio printing">intaglio printing</a> techniques of engraving and etching which became dominant by about 1560–1590, first in <a href="/wiki/Antwerp" title="Antwerp">Antwerp</a>, then Germany, Switzerland and Italy, the important publishing centres.<sup id="cite_ref-Mayor_1971_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mayor_1971-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 411–412">: 411–412 </span></sup> <sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They remained so until the later 19th century. They required the illustrations to be printed separately, on a different type of <a href="/wiki/Printing_press" title="Printing press">printing press</a>, so encouraging illustrations that took a whole page, which became the norm. </p><p>Engraving and etching gave sharper definition and finer detail to the illustrations, and rapidly became dominant by the late 15th century, often with the two techniques mixed together in a single plate. A wide range of books were now illustrated, initially mostly on a few pages, but with the number of illustrations gradually rising over the period, and tending to use more etching than engraving.
