This page accesses an Index to the marvelous work by Mr. Harold W. Fisher based on the measurement system devised by Roland Brown.

Regretfully, the Index has minimal value to those who do not have the books. In a joint project Allan Oliver and I have created a means of obtaining the measurements through some HTML trickery. With other resources, Statham, Seymour, Stone and Proud, plus the available Imprimatur imagery, you may be able to plate many copies.

For those with the Imprimaturs, we offer an Overlay page.

This Index is taken from a searchable, full information database which I created while Mr. Harold Fisher was alive, and with his permission. It contains an encoded version of all the relevent positional data for the five volumes of the "Plating Of The Penny".

Because of the written agreement between Mr. Fisher, his publishers, and myself - I can not make copies of the original programmed database available - Sorry!

No actual book data is available on these pages, only a search for possible matching plates.

The books may occasionally be found at auction and some volumes are still available through booksellers.


Note:

Recent acquisitions by members of the Mulready Group are leading to filling in some of the missing measurements. These will have the Plate Number in the returned list marked with an asterisk.

For those having the books and as yet not having updated the data, see: FB Changes
