Images printed on paper. They're everywhere; printed images adorn our surroundings and broadcast information. But the word itself, "print," is vague and overarching. The word is self-explanatory by nature of its verb-form:"a print is what you get when you *print* a marking substance onto a surface."

On July 15, I attended an auction in Atlantic, PA. Atlantic is a very small town (pop. 77) located in Amish country in Northwestern Pennsylvania. This was a charity auction and was very well attended, with nearly a thousand people in attendance.
