"Nature-Printing" was a process of printing attributed to both Benjamin Franklin in 1730 and Alois Auer, an Austrian printer, in 1850. Franklin was interested in using nature printing to stem the growing flood of counterfeit printed money,while Auer's work focused on its uses in the depiction of Natural History.

Nature printing uses a direct impression of a subject (a leaf, plant, seaweed, etc) upon a plate of lead which is then transferred to paper and hand-colored. The texture and structure of the item can be felt by ones fingertips on the surface of the print.

Larger Folio pieces by Ettingshausen and Auer command prices upwards of $300 per print. These scarce, smaller original prints are rarely offered for sale.

Taken from a work by Baron Constantin V. Ettingshausen (also, Ettinghausen) Printed in 1854 in Vienna, Austria.
