News-Lined Walls
Sometimes, when people clean out their attic, they find old newspapers. What this guy found was better than just newspapers: he found a bunch of plates used in the printing process nailed to his attic walls. They don't appear to be the actual printing plates; those would be mirror-reversed for the printing process. These look like they're embossed, like either the mold for casting the printing plate, or something thick and soft run through the presses without ink.

These are the later iteration of what was once known as stereotyping. I too have found these sheets in old houses, often in the ceilings of basements or attics.
