Antique letterpress printing plate featuring a detailed illustration of a farm implement produced for Imperial Cordwell’s. The image is rendered in raised relief and was designed for traditional letterpress or relief printing applications.

The plate appears to be copper or copper-faced, identified by its color, wear patterns, and oxidation. Some early printing plates were mounted to wooden blocks to achieve press height; this example is an unmounted metal plate.
