It's made of embossed paper stock, with no ink printed on it anywhere. The faces of the two singers can't be seen unless the light is angled just right; when it is, and it hits the cross-hatched texture in a certain way, their images jump out with photographic clarity. At the bottom of the page is the name of the maker, the Independent Electrotype Co. of Indianapolis. I've never seen anything like this before, and think it's really quite a cool effect. Have any of you seen similar ads?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/VSbbrfW.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/7wbLmrR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
