'prints' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'hogarth pop out crisply in the middle' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'in the middle' says to take the centre.
The middle of 'crisply' is 's'.
'hogarth'+'pop'='hogarthpop'
'hogarthpop' with letters rearranged gives 'photograph'.
'photograph'+'s'='PHOTOGRAPHS'

'made by' is the link.
