block print
Carved stamp impression
Block print refers to a design or image created by carving a pattern into a block of wood, linoleum, or similar material, inking the raised surface, and pressing it onto paper or fabric.
The technique produces distinctive bold lines and flat areas of color.
As a verb, to block print is to create such impressions: She block printed the invitations by hand.
The term also describes fabric decorated this way: a block print tablecloth.
