EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the young Sydney Hedley Waterlow (1822-1906), a distinguished British printer, as he intently focuses on his work as a compositor in Paris during the mid-19th century. The photograph, taken around 1855, offers a rare glimpse into the life of this pioneering figure in the world of printing. Born in London, Waterlow's passion for the art of printing began at an early age. He apprenticed under the renowned printer, Charles Whittingham, and later traveled to Paris to further expand his knowledge and skills. In the City of Light, Waterlow was exposed to the latest printing technologies and techniques, which would later influence his own work back in England. In this photograph, Waterlow is seen meticulously setting type in a composing stick, a common tool used in the typesetting process. The dimly lit workshop, filled with stacks of books and printing presses, underscores the labor-intensive nature of the craft. The image also reveals Waterlow's dedication and focus, as he immerses himself in his work, oblivious to the world around him. Waterlow's contributions to the printing industry were significant. He was a leading figure in the advancement of chromolithography, a color printing process that revolutionized the industry. His innovative techniques and high-quality prints earned him numerous accolades and a reputation as a master printer. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Waterlow's humble beginnings and the passion and perseverance that drove him to become a distinguished figure in the history of printing.
