Antique Copper Printing Plates — Photogravure Set

This collection brings a grounded, archival presence to shelves or tabletop displays with its copper plates, wood‑block mounts, and early photographic materials.

A set of antique copper printing plates mounted on wood blocks, originally used to produce photographic images through a photogravure‑style process. The copper surfaces show age‑related darkening, and the wood blocks display wear consistent with handling and long‑term storage. The set also includes cardboard photographic negatives and a storage box used to house the materials. The individuals depicted in the negatives are not identified. Light surface wear is present and consistent with age, with no structural damage observed on the plates or blocks.
