EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Press" takes us back to the 19th century Victorian era. The print showcases a moment frozen in time, capturing the essence of an age-old printing process. With meticulous attention to detail, the English School artist skillfully depicts a scene from within a bustling press room. The image portrays an array of machinery and tools that were integral to the printing industry during this period. From large wooden presses adorned with intricate carvings to stacks of paper waiting to be transformed into printed works, every element tells a story of craftsmanship and dedication. This particular print was created as an illustration for "An Illustrated Vocabulary For The Use Of The Deaf And Dumb" published by SPCK in 1857. It serves as both educational material and a testament to the importance of literacy during that time. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves amidst the clatter and hum of these magnificent machines. We can almost feel the weighty presence of history surrounding us. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' careful preservation efforts, this extraordinary piece has been brought back into our lives today. It reminds us not only of how far technology has advanced but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to spreading knowledge through printed words.
