[Brass Types for Posters]

Brass Types for Posters.— In the February number of Typo-graphische Neuigkeiten, Herr Poppelbaum announces that he has introduced and is now manufacturing brass poster-types. They are light, durable, nearly as cheap as wood, and are accurate in body, height, lining, and width, besides being more readily cleansed and unaffected by atmospheric changes. The inventor says that no printer who has given the new types a trial will revert to wood. We have not seen any reference to this novelty in our English or American exchanges.
