EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th or 20th century, showcasing a remarkable array of printing presses. The artist, S Miller, skillfully captures the essence of Britain's industrial revolution with this composition. Intriguingly, we are presented with a variety of printing machines that were instrumental in shaping the world of print. From left to right, we can identify an Albion hand-press, a Liberty platen jobbing-press, a Single-cylinder jobbing machine, and a Single-cylinder jobbing and book machine. Moving further along the line-up, there is the Kirkcaldy double cylinder or perfecting book machine followed by the French double cylinder book machine equipped with set-off sheet apparatus. Finally, on the far right stands the Victory web newspaper machine boasting its folding apparatus. The presence of men operating these impressive contraptions emphasizes their occupation as printers or printworkers. These dedicated individuals played an essential role in bringing information and knowledge to society through their mastery of technology and machinery. S Miller's engraving technique adds depth to this monochrome image while capturing both the intricate details of each press and highlighting the workers' commitment to their profession. As viewers today, we can appreciate not only their craftsmanship but also how these historical printing presses paved the way for modern-day technologies that have transformed our world into one driven by mass communication.
