An Exhibit at The Department of Special Collections and Rare Books

University of Minnesota
September - October, 1997

Photomechanics, the process whereby photographic technology is used to produce printing surfaces, is the focus of the Joseph S. Mertle Collection. The collection encompasses a wide diversity of material, including books, trade journals, patents, artifacts, and the papers of prominent figures in the field. Items for this exhibit were selected with the goal of demonstrating both the variety and broad scope of material found in the collection.
