[Collection of Printing Plates
Used in Union Publications]
np, [ca. 1970s]
29 printing plates, various sizes, all mounted to wood blocks. Some
mild, expected wear. Generally very good condition.
Small but interesting collection of printing plates utilized by the
United Steelworkers Union, likely for a local's newsletter or other
USWA periodical. Includes clip art, as well as multi-panel comic
strips (below) advocating various pro-union positions or figures,
with some simply promoting the benefits of membership (pensions,
healthcare, job security, and like — as above). An unusual archive
used in the production of labor propaganda.
