Edlundmith Inscription "W. Edlundmith Sculp." (abbreviation of Latin sculpsit, meaning "engraved") indicates the name of the engraver who carved the copper or metal plate used to print the illustration. However, it is common in popular or pirated editions of the 18th and 19th centuries for the names of minor engravers to be misspelled, poorly transcribed, or for local artisans tasked with reproducing the original plates (often designed by major illustrators of the era such as Thomas Stothard or William Blake) to be hired to reduce printing costs.
