EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from May 1956, we are transported back to the bustling world of publishing in the 1950s. The image showcases a skilled Daily Mirror photographic engraver meticulously inking a plate, his hands delicately maneuvering a roller over the surface. With intense focus etched on his face, he carefully inspects his work before passing it on to the plate room and ultimately to the presses. The scene exudes an air of dedication and craftsmanship as this talented individual ensures that every detail is perfected before sending it off for mass production. The timeless quality of this snapshot allows us to appreciate not only the intricate process involved in newspaper printing but also offers a glimpse into an era when such skills were highly valued. The presence of ink evokes thoughts of permanence and significance; much like a tattoo artist leaves their mark on skin, this engraver leaves an indelible impression on each plate he works with. His expertise lies at the heart of bringing news stories alive through vivid imagery for readers across the nation. This remarkable print by Mirrorpix takes us back in time, reminding us of an industry where meticulousness was key and where human touch played an integral role in creating printed media that informed and entertained millions.
