EDITORS COMMENTS
In the early days of printing, a young apprentice diligently works in a bustling print shop. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the intricate process of colour lithography during the 20th century. The young boy, fully immersed in his task, stands beside an imposing printing press. With focused determination, he meticulously checks each copy for accuracy and clarity. His small hands carefully handle ink rollers as he ensures that every detail is perfectly reproduced. Surrounded by stacks of paper and shelves filled with books, this image transports us back to an era when printing was still a laborious craft requiring skillful craftsmanship. The room is filled with the scent of fresh ink and the rhythmic sound of machinery humming along. This print originates from 'A Play-Book of History' by Mrs A. A Whiddington published by Blackie around 1911. It serves as both a historical document and a testament to the dedication and hard work put forth by apprentices like this young boy. As we admire this snapshot from history, let us appreciate not only the technological advancements that have made modern-day printing possible but also acknowledge those who paved the way through their commitment to learning and honing their skills.
