EDITORS COMMENTS
Banging out the new boys was a tradition in the print houses of Fleet Street for many years during the Hot Metal Days of producing newsprint. When apprentices finished their time, which was usually five years, they were plastered with ink, paste, and anything printers could lay their hands on. This iconic photograph by Bela Zola captures the essence of this unique tradition that once thrived within the bustling walls of Fleet Street. Taken in the 1970s, this image showcases a group of young men proudly displaying their freshly earned printer's qualifications amidst a chaotic scene. Covered from head to toe in ink and paste, their jubilant expressions reveal both camaraderie and mischief. The mischievous grins on their faces hint at an underlying sense of humor shared among these individuals who have endured long hours and hard work to master the artistry behind printing. This photograph not only documents a specific moment in time but also represents a cultural custom that has since faded into history. It serves as a reminder of how traditions shape our identities and bring people together through shared experiences. As we look upon this image today, we are transported back to an era when unconventional practices like 'banging out' symbolized pride, accomplishment, and belonging within the print industry.
