By analogic age, I mean before computers became widespread.
I want to have something more visual than just the description of the processes involved, especially how a finished B&W art was made into something that could be printed several times

I don’t know any videos on the subject, but I do know that in addition to actually drawing stuff by hand, they often will use sheets of “fill” for adding texture, shadows, shading, etc by overlaying another piece of paper over the linework that is just a pattern of lines or dots and then cut off the excess with an exacto knife. They still use this technique in a lot of manga production. Saves a lot of time not having to manually color/shade things in.
