MATRICES OBMOIP The word PIOMBO composed with movable type, cast with this metal in alloy with antimony; the word appears backwards, since the elements are arranged as the printer would align them on the composing machine. The pages must be composed in this way so that they can be read after printing, which is mirrored to the matrix. Photograph, Italy 20th century.
