Letterpress prints—also known as “debossed” prints—come from a pre-digital practice in which raised surfaces of letters or images are inked and pressed into paper, leaving a tangible and tactile indentation. This form of relief printing dates all the way back to the year 1041 in China, and to Gutenberg's press in 1440’s Germany. Letterpress printing is a careful, inherently slow work resulting in fine typography and imagery. Many Etsy artists still practice this craft, making beautiful letterpress print art.
