Proofs

 

The three types of “proofs” that are present in our collection are Galley Proofs, Master Proofs and Page Proofs.

 

Galley Proofs

A proof taken from the 'galley '(the long shallow metal tray used by compositors to hold type after it has been set) before the copy has divided into pages; in modern terms, a proof taken before taken before the division of the copy into pages.

 

Master Proofs

A typesetter's  proof, read and marked with corrections and queries; a marked proof.

 

Page Proofs

The proofing stage galley proofs, but before machine proofs, in which the matter has been segregated into pages (with or without illustrations).
