Relief printing is done by outlining an image on a surface, and then carving along the outline. The artist then applies the raised areas with ink, to be pressed on to a surface.

The resulting image comes from the ink in the engraved or etched lines. The resulting image is reversed.

Negative film was invented by Henry Fox Talbot. Negative film is a roll of film with a gel or lotion over it, with light-sensitive silver-nitrate crystals in the emulsion. When exposed to light, it creates a negative image. When we look at a negative image on film, all the light colors are dark and all the dark colors are light. This image can be duplicated or enlarged onto photography paper that is light-sensitive. Because the paper is light-sensitive, the image appears as a positive image.

This is a photograph of a plaster death mask, or a cast made from the face of a deceased person. It was created by molding plaster over the person’s face shortly after death.
