Product Details

Vintage lot of a collection of letterpress printing blocks. These blocks, typically made of wood or metal, were used for a form of relief printing called letterpress, which was the standard method for printing text from the mid-15th century through the 19th century. Letterpress printing involves pressing an inked, raised surface against paper to transfer the ink. The blocks in the image include letters ("K" and "H"), a number ("2"), and other designs such as a cat and a bag of golf clubs. The blocks are often referred to as "wood type" or "printer's cuts". These vintage blocks are now often collected for artistic projects, decor, or for use in modern letterpress printing.
