A slate plate with a square white patch printed into it, carrying your photograph in full colour. Of the three stamp plates this is the one that keeps the most of a picture.
A round patch cuts every corner and a heart tapers to a point. A square keeps its corners and takes an even crop off two sides only, which means a photograph with two people in it, or a subject with some setting around it, survives here and does not survive the other two. If the picture matters more than the shape, this is the stamp plate to take.
Slate is dark, so an image printed straight onto it sits on charcoal and comes out deep and a little muted. The white patch gives the photograph a clean base, and the colours read as they would on paper. The stone stays visible as a dark border around the printed square.
Pictures with real colour in them, where the colour is part of the subject rather than incidental: a summer photograph, flowers, a child in something bright. Those are the images that lose the most on bare stone and gain the most from a white base. A dark, quiet photograph gains far less, and the plain plate is the better object for one of those. Send the camera original rather than a forwarded copy, since a white ground shows softness that charcoal would have concealed.
Only the printed patch is square: the plate is rectangular, with stone showing around the image. Each one is split rather than sawn, so the edge is riven and no two match.
It stands unaided on a shelf and takes an ordinary plate stand. The round and heart stamp plates do the same thing in shapes that crop considerably harder.
Of the three stamp plates this is the one that keeps the most photograph. A circle curves in on four sides and a heart takes the corners and tapers; a square patch simply trims the sides of a rectangular picture. Where the point of the plate is the colour rather than the shape, there is no reason to take either of the others.
The picture is printed by sublimation, not engraved. Colour Enhancement costs $1.99 per image.
