INSERTED MOSAIC
This method of mosaic invented by Mons. Aumaître possesses the advantage of being very durable, owing to the edges of the inlay being secured between the two edges of the incision made in the groundwork. The outline is
deeply cut in the groundwork, the incision well opened with the opener and then filled with paste. The inlay is also pasted and the edges inserted in the incision. A wheel or a large modeller is used to press down the edges, and the outline is then gone over with a hot tool.
