A "calcographer" is a term not widely recognized in standard English dictionaries but can be understood as a specialist or practitioner of calcography.

It is a niche skill focusing on the creation and reproduction of artworks or texts using engraved copper plates, traditionally used in the 16th to 18th centuries. A calcographer, therefore, would be someone highly skilled in this precise and artistic craft.
