• There are multiples ways a cartographer<br />
can construct a map. The most common one used by the <strong>Dutch</strong><br />
was called Copperplate Engraving. The necessary tools are: a burin<br />
which is a metal tool with a sharp point to engrave, a copper plate<br />
that is an engraved template of the map, ink, a roller, paper, <strong>and</strong> a<br />
rolling press which compresses the copper plate with ink to ensure<br />
that the ink transfers onto the paper. The process includes<br />
engraving the plate with the burin <strong>and</strong> then applying ink into the<br />
grooves. The plate is then laid onto the paper <strong>and</strong> passed through<br />
a rolling press to completely transfer the ink to the paper.
