This type of image is called a photo-relief or bas relief. Photo-reliefs are made by exposing an image by contact to film, emulsion side to emulsion side, to get an image reversal. The two images are then slightly offset from each other, and a print is made from the two pieces. Because of the reversal on the second image, only the edges and highlights are not neutralized.
