The block to be printed must be plac

The printer has two brushes. one Of
them sitter than the other. which he
can hold In his hand and use at either
end.
He dips 1t into the Ink and rubs the
block with 1t, taking care not to mois-

would be blurred; If too little, they
would not print When once the block
Is got into the proper condition he can
print three or four impressions with

again.
The second brush is used to rub over
the paper with a small degree Of pres

This 1t does easily, for, not being sized
