Artist-made prints are impressions from woodcuts produced by hand in a variety of ways by the author. Historically the words “engraving” and “woodcut/wood block” have been applied to all kinds of artistic prints that yield a small number of copies; they are derived from xylography - the earliest invented relief printmaking technique on blocks of wood. In reality, blocks or plates can be made of different materials (wood, metal, linoleum, and others) on which an artist makes pictures by such methods as cutting, carving, engraving or etching. Lithography is also customarily regarded as engraving, although it does not involve engraving as such, for the image transfer is performed by pressing paper onto a printing block covered with ink. The number of imprints is always limited because of the wear and tear of a printing form. All the bookmarks in the present collection are artist-made prints. Each copy has been printed and signed by the artist him/herself supplemented by the date of the printing made, technique used, title, serial number of the print and total number of the impressions made from a given block/plate.


EtchingEtching

The bookmarks produced by the etching technique were printed by the artist on paper with a 100% content of cotton. The technique of tearing off the edges by hand invests the shape of the bookmark with a quality of exclusiveness. Each bookmark is stamped with a special corrugated brand of “Russian Bookmark”.
