   The brass rule labyrinth I think is unique. I haven't seen something like that before and it's a beautiful piece of work. It must have taken a long time to construct the maze because the way it came out. It's interesting to be able to cut the pieces of brass that way within one large square without getting confused. The person who did it is very talented and is a great printmaker.

3. The way it relates is that it copies the images from a machine. The similarity is copying the information exactly and it uses a similar type of ink. The difference is the photocopier can make lots of copies at once and the letterpress can only be done by hand and it takes a long time to make many copies.
