Hello,

Has anyone ever seen something like this before?? Any idea how old it is?

Thanks!

Made yesterday. A digital print on a piece of wood.

Originally I believe it was the cover of a Mauser catalog.

Correct.

These are made by printing an image on a material that repels the printing ink. This sheet covered in ink is then hand pressed on a piece of wood.

That's too bad. Oh well, thank you gentlemen for your input. Still looks cool to hang on the wall somewhere.
