These "doodles" are the farthest thing from that.....they are print set up sheets .....the set up allows us to peer into the litho process that some of our resident experts here have been researching for decades....

like finding fossils if you will...

might be beyond your scope
Depends on what you're measuring these against. I collect fossils and in comparison, this is not in the same universe. Easy to overlook the fact that the early 20th century wasn't really that long ago. These cards are cool and somewhat informative, but not awe-inspiring. Zero relevance in comparison to fossils.
