During the Medieval time period, when wealthy and prominent people died, their burial vault was placed in their church and on top of the vault came a brass sheet where the likeness of the individual was etched.

In the Victorian age in Britain, creating a facsimile of these brass pieces became very popular. Many times these enthusiasts romped around Great Britain on their holidays doing brass rubbings. They would go to churches and put paper on top of the brass tomb. As they rubbed with a special crayon the etched image would appear. Many of these tombs held very important people, wealthy Lords and Ladies, Knights, Kings and Queens and even humble saints.
