Cousin Janet, our dearest Uncle Dick was not too far off of the
mark! During the hay days of carbon and albumen prints, is was
fairly common for photographers or studios to have an embossing punch
that was used to put their name or "chop" in the margins of a print.
Would work like a champ on carbon, albumen, or Pt/Pd where the base
is a fiber paper. I suppose you could do the same on a still damp
fiber based silver print and not do too much damage to the soft
emulsion. Archival since all that happened was the paper got a good
squishing.
