Shakespeare is that you?

Mayor McDigger · May 27, 2017

Found this block with a picture of what looks to be Shakespeare. It's really heavy and is approximately an inch in depth. I initially thought it was some sort of die for printing but the image doesn't seemed to be etched into the face. Thanks for looking. All suggestions appreciated.

My guess is Sir Walter Raleigh. Check out these.

Thanks for the quick reply. That looks to be the man on the block. I would've never came to that conclusion
Thanks

Could be a lithograph printing block.

Most printing blocks are .918 high, if that helps.
