<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 408022, member: 8267"]It could be called embossed, or more specifically "blind intaglio". A 3-dimensional "plate" of some sort is prepared, and dampened paper is pressed into/onto it and allowed to dry. In this case, it looks like color was added in the image area after the paper was dry, using a lightly loaded brush, to emphasize the raised areas. The plate could be made from a variety of materials, traditionally a thick, deeply etched piece of copper. Contemporary artists may simply use a piece of plywood with the design created with hot glue or other sturdy medium. The paper may be a thick sheet, or may be applied as a thick slurry of pulp.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
