Intensively Engraved Antique Printer's Plate early 19th century watercolor 15" tall x 7" acrossI just love the surface of this old printer's plate, with the names of Sam Scott and John Oaks consuming much of it, but various smaller letters and marks filling every centimeter between and around them, and many more on the back side, too. I find the whole thing super satisfying, and the detailing on the letters spelling out Sam Scott especially fantastic. 8 1 2 x 4 3 16 and in very good condition, found in Adams County, PA
