[picture in document]

This is a press sheet, probably produced by copperplate stamping. The sheet has four letterhead pages on it. It has largely deteriorated, having been used as a wrapper for a number of copper plates.

The document collection includes many press sheets, which are printed sheets as they come off the press before any finishing action like trimming, folding, collating or die cutting.
