| Description |
Wooden mallet. Mallet would be used to ensure that furniture is fixed in case and that print was level to guarantee an even printing. Accession Number: SH.2009.394.3 When a page of type was set, the printer would then hammer the type level by hitting a wooden block "planer" with a mallet across the top of the type. This would ensure that all type was type height and ensure an even print. Edinburgh City of Print is a joint project between City of Edinburgh Museums and the Scottish Archive of Print and Publishing History Records (SAPPHIRE). The project aims to catalogue and make accessible the wealth of printing collections held by City of Edinburgh Museums.
