Product Overview
Authentic antique 1920s Art Deco letterpress advertising printing block created for Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company ("Standard" Plumbing Fixtures). This original commercial engraving plate features a finely detailed copper halftone cut depicting an elegant Roaring Twenties woman seated on a dressing stool adjusting her silk stockings inside a stylish period bathroom.
