AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A special set of two original printing plates (letterpress) used for printing sherry labels from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. The plates bear the name "Robero" and the designation "Medium Dry Sherry," rendered in a classic, decorative typography that is characteristic of traditional Spanish wine labels.

The plates are made of brass and clearly show the raised printing surfaces used in a press. The text and ornaments are reversed, as is customary for printing plates. One plate has a green-lacquered back. Such plates were used for bottle labels and are today cherished as collectibles or as industrial decorative pieces.
