➽ The Sunday Challenge (TSC) - Sami suggested metal, that sounds reasonable to me.. lets keep this with minimum post processing.
____________________________

➽ Rounded and lead-coated printing plate from the seventies. It was used for rotary printing of a daily newspaper. Here is the logo of the "Augsburger Allgemeine" Newspaper, it shows the town hall of Augsburg. The printing plate measures approx. 4 x 8 cm (1.57 x 3.15 in) and weighs 169 g (1064.83 gr).

It's a memory of my dad, who has worked as a typesetter at the publishing house - pls. see original size for the details
