Stone Rubbing Copying

Stone Rubbing Copying is a form of Technology and Culture.

Description
Many important documents are inscribed in stone. It is useful to have copies of them on paper, but copying them is time consuming and error prone. A better technique is apply wet paper over the inscription, pushing it carefully into the engraved writing. Ink is then stippled onto the paper with a brush until it covers the whole surface. Since the ink does not cover the part pressed into the engraving, the characters can now stand out in white against the now blackened surface of paper.
