This unique printing block features a historic advertisement related to the assassination of President McKinley. The block is made of metal and wood with copper accents, and was created using the traditional art of typography. It was manufactured in the United States and is a rare find for collectors of printing and graphic arts. The piece would make a great addition to any collection or as a decor piece in a business setting.
We do offer combined shipping on multiple purchases. Let us know if you have any questions regarding this process.
This is a rare find! The first image was reversed to show clearly what the print is on the block. All letters are actually reversed. This does require cleaning. Please review and zoom in on each item for condition detail. Each printing block available does have issues of wear. This is an amazing piece of journalism history!
