Simultaneous Use of Standing Type and Stereotyped Copy

Peter L. Shillingsburg, Professor of English, Mississippi State University

Note 36 to Chapter 5 of the author's Pegasus in Harness: Victorian Publishing and W. M. Thackeray, which University Press of Virginia published in 1992. It has been included in the Victorian Web with the kind permission of the author, who of course retains copyright.

Nor is there any reason to think that standing type and a stereotyped copy were imposed together to produce a single sheet with two copies. That method was used ten years later by Bradbury and Evans (with electrotypes) for the wrappers of The Virginians.
