<p>[QUOTE="OldWhitby, post: 4271229, member: 17301"]I've done a fair bit of graphic arts and I've used the rub on shading sheets that are the mid century equivalent of the Ben Day process (although we never called them that). Although they have an apparent randomness there is also a high degree of order which I don't see in this picture. The dots trail in the direction that the artist wanted them and differ in size and intensity as the artist desired. I'm pretty sure they've been applied manually in the original. But if as Debora has suggested it is a print, what would the printing process be?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
