A print from a copper etching using the Chine-collé process

Chine-collé is a special technique in printmaking,
in which the image is transferred to a surface that is
bonded to a heavier support during the printing process.
One purpose is to allow the printmaker to print on a much more delicate
surface, such as Japanese paper or linen, which pulls finer details off the plate.
Another purpose is to provide a background colour behind the image that is
different from the surrounding backing sheet.
