Chinese ink squeeze rubbing of a stele or stone monument, 1353

Each page contains calligraphy printing done in the method of "ink squeeze." This is similar to a rubbing but instead uses damp paper laid over an incised stone. The soft, damp paper is gently tamped into the incisions with a soft, broad brush. This is followed by ink being patted onto the raised surfaces with an ink pad, the part touched by the ink pad turns black and the incisions remain white.
