DESCRIPTION of this RARE PRINT carecteristics
Card TYPE : paper coating and metal ink printing anno 1840 to 1860 , exquisite in printing and design
Porcelain cards refer to a specific engraving form which existed only in Belgium from about 1840 into the 1860’s ONLY . Production : a highly glossed stock (like porcelain) and powdered metallic inks applied by hand. Lithostones were used because engraving or handpress would damage the card ! Of course there are known also etchings but it would be to expensive for these cards which editing was on very low numbers. this makes most of these very scarse items . Since the procedée was used for 20 years and visiting cards change all the time ... address, owner, more products ... and changing from printer from time to time, you think that 2 cards are the same ... but they never are ... always different, always minor typographic changes, bigger letters, smaller etc ...
Used colors in inkt = paint are :
vermilion, red lead, lead white, Prussian blue, ultramarine, carbon black and chrome yellow
The process allowed for extremely delicate and intricate designs, but was abolished due to the high toxicity of the colored powdered inks and lead oxides used. The inkters and printers died very fast on lead intoxication, so it was forbidden at a certain time to use the lead in ink.
There still exist menus, business cards, calendars, visit cardsn invitations, songs, celebration papers etc...produced by this rare process, highly sought by collectors.
We have a fine collection of more than a thousand, found in "albums de collection “
The Cards are thicker and stiffer than normal paper because the paper is really coated with the white lead-containing paint.
