EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Marinoni rotary printing press, a marvel of 19th-century technology used for producing thumbnail prints and color prints. The machine, designed by Hippolyte Auguste Marinoni in the mid-1800s, revolutionized the printing industry with its efficiency and precision. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where craftsmanship and innovation intersected to create works of art that have stood the test of time. The aged appearance of the press tells a story of years gone by, hinting at the countless pages it has churned out over its lifetime. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to a time when black-and-white engravings were at the forefront of visual storytelling. The intricate details and mechanisms of the machine are a testament to human ingenuity and dedication to advancing technology. This photograph is not just a snapshot in time; it is a window into an era when print shops buzzed with activity and creativity flourished. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while also paying homage to those who paved the way for modern printing practices. In capturing this moment from history, Ken Welsh has preserved not only an image but also a piece of our collective past that continues to inspire us today.
