EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Printer" takes us back in time to the bustling world of printing industries. The image showcases a group of skilled workmen engaged in various tasks, surrounded by an array of equipment and tools. With focused expressions on their faces, they meticulously handle mallets, shooting type into composing sticks, and operating iron presses. The scene is filled with elements that epitomize the manufacturing occupation during this era. An ink table stands prominently at the center, adorned with an Albion press and a wooden press nearby. A planer, chase, and furniture are scattered around as essential implements for printing. As we delve deeper into the image's details, we notice steam presses in action alongside Victorian-era books neatly arranged on shelves. The printer's horse patiently waits beside a banker inside one of several bank buildings depicted in the background. Every aspect of this print exudes craftsmanship and dedication to producing quality printed materials. From roller maintenance to meticulous typesetting techniques using bodkins and reglets - no detail is overlooked by these skilled professionals. This artwork serves as both a historical record of printing trades from centuries past and a testament to the labor-intensive nature of book production during that time period. It reminds us how far technology has advanced since then while also appreciating the artistry involved in traditional printing methods.
