    Description

    Antique 19th Century Copper Printing Photo Press Plate Lot of 8. Condition is "Used".
    This is a lot of 8 antique copper printing block, 3 large and 5 small. The larges are 1) a Vigoro advertisement, and two wooded nature scenes with trees and water. Size of block is 7” x 8” x 7/8". The small are 3 images of a distinguished suited gentleman on the copperplate metal surface. We wish we had more info; his name appears to be Bruce Kratberg all we know is that it appears from the garments worn to be from the late 19th century. Likely he was featured in a local newspaper, so may even be a prominent citizen of some kind. Also 2 from Mens Garden Club of America. It was hard to photograph to capture what the image looked like, but at some angles we were able to capture the way it will print out as opposed to the actual negative appearance on the copperplate block. Condition is good; they may have some light surface scratches that are not distracting (see photos). This is all the info we can provide for you history buffs. Size of small block is 2-1/2" x 3-1/2”x 7/8". Feel free to ask any questions
