Canada
This wood type was used with an orienting press used by the vendor to print display cards for Caplan’s Department Store and Giant Tiger stores. Ce caractère de bois étais utilisé avec une presse à orienter par le donateur pour imprimer des pancartes pour le Grand Magasin Caplan ainsi que pour les magasins Tigre Géant.
Function
This wood type was used with a printing press to produce limited numbers of small size posters otherwise known as showcards in twelve different fonts. Ce caractère de bois était utilisé avec une presse à imprimer pour produire des pancartes ou des affiches publicitaires en douze fontes différentes.
Technical
The Line-O-Scribe printing press uses standard metal and wood display types. It represents a simple hand-operated showcard press. The press works on the travelling cylinder principle. The operator pulls a small-diameter impression cylinder over the back of a card which has been placed face down on the press’s inked types. The types are set up on a tray and locked in place with metal wedges. Cette presse à imprimer nommée le Line-O-Scribe utilise des caractères plomb et de bois. Il représente une presse à pancartes simple qui est opérable à la main. Il fonctionne sur le principe d'un cylindre voyageant. L'opérateur tire un cylindre de contre-pression a petit diamètre sous le dos d'une carte qui est placée face cachée sur les fonderies typographiques qui sont recouvertes avec de l'encre pour former une impression. Les caractères sont tenus en place avec des coins à refendre.

Details

Markings
On the front of the wood type/Sur le devant du caractère de bois:"[I]".
Missing
Some foundry and wood types are intentionally missing. This was because the goal was to only acquire fonts not already in our collection. Plusieurs caractères de fonderies (en métal) et de bois n'ont pas été collecté par intention. Ils ont été omis, car le but était de seulement d'acquérir des fontes manquant dans la collection.
Finish
A rectangular wood type that has a wooden back and a silver metal plate on its front. The design of the metal represents an uppercase letter. Un caractère de bois qui a une plaque en métal de couleur argent sur son devant et un dos fait en bois. L'objet est rectangulaire et la plaque démontre une lettre majuscule comme symbole.
