View the Calligrafs gallery Cartografs Dab printing also known as right-printing and frottage. Developed in ancient China to make copies of inscriptions or pictures cut into stone, wood or clay bricks, paper laid over and ink, paint or carbon rubbed onto the paper and thereby creating a right reading of the image.
