First published in 1998, Engraved on Steel focuses on engraving and engravers, exploring the use of steel engraving in both the decorative arts and in printing, Basil Hunnisett also describes the context of the steel engraver’s work. The processes by which steel engraving became one of the most widely used forms of printing in the 19th century are described in detail as the developments in the print industry, paper manufacture and publishing that determined its history. The activities of print publishers are also examined, including those of art unions.

"The Frances L. Hofer Bequest of drawings came to Harvard in 1978. Numbering over 1500 pieces, it has enriched both The Houghton Library, which received the drawings for book illustration, and the Fogg Art Museum. Philip Hofer, who formed the collection, has been closely associated with both institutions throughout his long Harvard career ... In 1979 the Fogg Art Museum exhibited a selection of the master drawings it received from this bequest. Now, two years after Mrs Hofer's death, the Houghton Library is exhibiting for the first time a selection of fifty of the drawings for book illustration."--P. 7.
