notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This patent model demonstrates an invention for a method of printing from paper plates; the invention was assigned patent number 196466. The original image, in lithographic crayon or ink on paper, was transferred by pressure at a press such as Maurice's rotary press to a second sheet of paper. After treatment, the second sheet became the printing plate. The purpose of the invention was to reverse the image, so it would be rightreading when printed. Model consists of several fragile and damaged paper rolls.
