Description: .: 4. Huy, imprimerie Gaston Gehenniaux, 15th november 1898, printed publicty cardboard. Size 30 x 54 cm. The board is coated on two sides with ivory coloured glossy paper. Only one side is printed. The printer used different elaborate printing techniques. The main words are printed in large cut out ( recess) lettering which is also gilded. In the centre is a large embossed decoration ( consisting of bottles and a wine barrel within a floral frame). This is entirely printed in silver. On the right hand lower an official duty stamp obliterated in gilt printing ( date 15 th november 1898). In the upper margin are two small hollow copper rivits ( for attaching a suspension cord). This very remarkable and very elaborate piece of publicity printing is in an exceptionally state of preservation. It is in mint condition and has obviously never been exposed, as would have been its purpose. It is really an extraordinary specimen of the craftmanship of Belgian printers at the end of the 19th c. ( We have the same item available in an allmost totally different colour scheme. (19th c.; printing technique;publicity printing;silver printing;gold printing;embossed;recess printing;). .
