Identifier: SERIES V.

Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Series V. Printing Materials contains printers' cuts and a seal. Also included in this series are two stereotype flongs, pasted paper forms into which an image has been pressed. These flongs, or matrixes, were pliant enough to register an impression and sufficiently heat-resistant to tolerate the molten-type metal poured into the flong to create a stereotype plate of the image.
