Origin of MCh¹

Latin Magister Chirurgiae

It is here that the papier-mch forms made from the forms you saw in linotype are brought and cast in solid pieces for the presses.

They are now formed by beating or pressing a prepared pulp of papier-mch into the face of the lettering.

But nowadays very little is made from real pulp of paper, and most of what is sold as papier-mch is made of smooth wood.

One night, the carcass of the horse was removed and the papier-mch replica took its place.

The hollow shell of papier-mch was made to resemble a lump of coal.
