What is a "Tipped-In" Plate?

Unlike standard mass-produced prints, a "tipped-in" plate is a high-quality color reproduction that is lightly attached (usually by the top edge) to a heavy-stock descriptive folder. This method was used in the mid-century to preserve the integrity of the art and allow for professional framing.
