[EKStationers] RE: Proof presses (was Re: Upcoming quarterly report)

[Iheronimus Brückner]

I remember seeing an Italian (wood cut?) of someone rolling a very large
cylinder over (cuts?) to make an impression. I have had a discussion  
with
someone else who argues that it is not relief printing, but intaglio  
(engraving).

It's not in the Book of Trades - I wish I knew where the image, and it's
accompanying description,  was to be found.
