Dear S. Walter, This link may be of some help (https://www.museumofroyalworcester.org/learning/research/manufacturing-processes/engraving-transfer-printing/), suggests they were hand punched. Outside of copper plates, (though you likely already know this source), Teresita Majewski and Michael J. O'Brien (1987:141-143) have a good discussion of transfer print process. good luck, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Terry Majewski Sent: Tuesday, April 6, 2021 3:00 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: dot matrix for transferwares My understanding is that they were punched into the copper plate by hand as part of the design.

Were they hand punched into the plate? Or some kind of a machine produced them? Thanks, S.
