In those days, plates were made by photographing the original, transferring it to metal and then etching away the white parts.
The resulting 3-dimensional plate would get fuzzier with wear and tear on each print run.
You can see the same results in the letterpress used for the hardbacks; one reason why they were reset periodically.
