But now Maple is more common.Small hand engraving tools are usedto cut away the surface of the blocK. Like a negative image all the white is cut away. Inkis then rolled on the surface of the block and it is put through a hand-operated press to produce each individual print.To be an original print, the block must be designed, executed and printed by the artist.Prints are done in editions, signed and numbered. The block is then cancelled.Measurement with frame: 7 1/4" x 5 1/4" x 1"Measurement without frame: 4 3/4" x 2 3/4".
