This print takes us back to the bustling Printing Works of the Illustrated London News on a significant day, August 30th, 1879. The image showcases an array of printing presses that were at the forefront of technological advancements during that era. In the top illustration, we witness folding machines in action as they deftly handle sheets of paper. Adjacent to them, workers can be seen wetting and damping paper for rotary machines, ensuring smooth operation and optimal print quality. Moving down to the middle section, two-feeder machines and Bremner machines steal the spotlight with their intricate mechanisms. The lower part of this extraordinary photograph introduces us to Hoes American Machine alongside two Ingram Rotary Machines. These impressive pieces of machinery played crucial roles in revolutionizing newspaper production during that time. The portrait format emphasizes a male-dominated industrial setting where individuals are deeply engrossed in their respective roles within manufacturing processes. Their industriousness is palpable as they work tirelessly amidst a sea of equipment.
