1. {{lb|en|art|historical}} A style of [[engraving]] in [[relief]] by means of [[voltaic]] [[electricity]]. A picture is drawn on a metallic plate with some material which resists the fluids of a battery; so that, in [[electrotyping]], the parts not covered by the varnish, etc., receive a [[deposition]] of metal, and produce the required copy in [[intaglio]]. A [[cast]] of this is then the plate for printing.
