Up for auction here is an antique original printers block cut for use in letterpress printing. The print is made from a zinc metal faceplate attached to a hardwood block. I believe this was last used by an underground Detroit newspaper in the Thirties based on those plates found with it. The plate bears a photo illustration of a woman in native dress - I believe the plate depicts a Polish or Eastern European woman. She is wearing an ornately embroidered costume. The plate measures 2"x 4.5" inches. The back is blank apart from a small paper label #9. Condition is VG+ / Very Good+: There are few defects to mention apart from mild signs of wear from age & use. This plate has several very mild surface flecks of white spotting, but very little wear overall. The plate is flat & will still print well. The plate is affixed to the block by nails. Please take a look at the photos for further detail, & note that in some cases I have flipped or inverted the picture to make text legible or clarify the image. .....Take a look at the other letterpress blocks we have up at the moment for combined shipping deals - If you win several auctions the items will be packed together for a postal break~(I will package together multiple plates purchased for best shipping option - Flat Rate box to offset weight when many prints are purchased).......There are no handling charges in our auctions - you only pay the actual postage.
