The process or technique of making impressions or prints by stamping, or a collection of stamped prints.
French derivative of 'estampe,' with the suffix '-age' indicating a process or collection. Borrowed into English from French in the 19th century to describe printing and stamping practices.
Estampage became a crucial technique in archaeology and art conservation—scientists would create exact paper replicas of ancient inscriptions by pressing damp paper onto carved surfaces, preserving details without damaging the originals!
