This print shows an artist at work in a print studio. A roller press flattens damp paper onto an inked metal plate, forcing ink from the grooves into the design. The plate gets wiped clean except for the grooves, so only the lines hold ink. This tricky step separates intaglio from other print methods. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
