Encaustic in art printing.

Encaustic, a term used to describe a picture painted by means of heated wax. At the close of the 18th century experiments were made by Emma J. Greenland to ascertain the ancient methods; but the process, in which gum mastic and wax were the principal vehicles used, produced neither so brilliant a tint nor so durable a texture as oil painting. The term encaustic is also used in the art of making tiles, plain or decorated, for pavements of buildings. The clay, being prepared, is pressed down into steel moulds of the required size, and with such weight that three inches1 depth of powder forms a tile but one inch thick. Heating, firing, and glazing complete the process.
