Ferris corset ad block
This is a lead ad block for Ferris corsets. It was found in Eureka
, California, and I purchased it on eBay. The actual block is the second photo. I flipped it to create the first photo
, which makes the block easier to read.
The block would have been used in the era of lead type for newspapers. It is a mirror image since it would be inked and printed
, resulting in an image that is readable.
