Matrices and boxes containing master castings

Matrices from D. Stempel AG for a size of Neuzeit-Grotesk with wooden boxes containing master castings (Probeguße), to be used as a reference for setting the sorts’ widths, each time certain weights/sizes of the family are cast. Photographed at the Schriftgießerei Gerstenberg at the Haus für Industriekultur in Darmstadt – an Außenstelle of the Hessisches Landesmusuem.
