This is an interesting vintage<br>printer's block plate<br>, a<br>halftone image<br>of a famous photograph of British soldiers of<br>No.4 Commando at Newhaven with a German prisoner<br>they had captured at a gun battery at Varengeville, France, during the disastrous<br>Dieppe Raid<br>of 1942. The metal printing plate is attached to a heavy block of wood. Overall, the block plate measures approximately 4-5/8" square and is in good condition, with ink staining of the wood and light scratches on the metal printing plate. I presume the plate was used in the printing of a book, but do not know for sure. Please see photos for details, and note that one of the photos of the plate has been "negatized" and increased in contrast to show what the image would look like printed on paper.
