stipple

To engrave, paint, or draw by means of dots instead of using lines or solid areas of colour or tone. Stipple engraving was first developed in Germany in the 17th century, and introduced to England by William Wynne Ryland (1732-1783), who became engraver to George III after training in Paris.
