The method was developed by painter and printmaker Jan van de Velde in Amsterdam, around 1650, and introduced to England in the 1770s. Intaglio printmaking is a family of printing techniques in which an image is incised into the surface of a metal plate the incised line holds the ink, while the original surface of the plate is wiped clean.
