A printing press in a beautiful part of Hong Kong. It is located on a hillside and has a couple of steep and narrow streets where you can discover gems like this.

I took the picture with my new Nikon F3 with a 1:1,4 50mm fixed focal lens. Amazing camera!

Art nouveau printing block by Etchings Plus - Finally got a laptop!

A copper printing block that I found today, it looks like it has got damp at some point and someone has cleaned it up. Hard to hand burnish as it is 2cm x 10cm, and I tend to either smudge it on thick or tear the thinner paper. Oh for a small hand printing press!

Statue Series of box tops in stock ; catalogue 1929 ; Georage Harrison & Sons, Printers, Leeds, West Yorkshire : UK : Gaiety Chocolates by mikeyashworth

4

This catalogue for 1929 showing box tops for chocolates and biscuits was issued by the Leeds colour printers George H Harrison & Sons of the Statue Printing Works. It was issued in two formats, for large and small cartons, and contains numerous stock designs that could be overprinted with a brand and retailers name. The colourways and designs are very 1920s 'chocolate box' in style with little of contemporary graphic design! They show very traditional scenes, Christmas and such, as well as charming 1920s 'flappers' along with a smattering of historical and 'Far Eastern" promise and delights! The prices ranged from 55/- per thousand for designs in Section C, through 65/- in Section B and Section A's designs coming in at 75/-.

This shows a lid and front panel design overprinted, as an example, as "Gaiety Chocolates" to show what could be provided at additional cost. The scene is rather 'Arabian Nights".

Tibetan Bride,41X31cm(16"X12"),Watercolor on Arches paper,By Zhou Tianya(China) in November 2012 by Tianya Zhou

This painting depicts a Tibetan bride of Pulan County, southwestern Tibet, along the borders of China, India and Nepal. Pulan is known for its women’s beautiful and unique dresses, jewelry and accessories. However, they are not commonly seen because they, made of gold, silver, turquoise, carnelian, coral and other precious local stones, are so highly valued both monetarily and culturally that they are only put on display for the most important festivities in Pulanian life. These cultural objects are testimonial evidence of Pulan people’s aesthetics and values. A woman in the whole set of dress plus adornments often times means the whole household worth on display. The grandeur makes them feel like queens.

My objective is to let the light lead the viewers into their exploration of the painting, first, to the highlight of the dress and accessories, then to the person hidden in them. Portraiture usually focuses on the personage and their status of vitality and spirits and accessories only play a supporting role. Here I take the challenge of breaking the rules with the attempt to strike delicate balances between the light and the dark, and between conventional focal and peripheral aspects in portraiture. Given the successful rendition of the bright wedding dress and its accessories, the balances could be easily lost. But I strive to give the dark enough details for the viewer to continue roaming around with the hope to convey the story behind the façade about the bride’s complex state of mind with timidity, shy, anxiety and expectation for happiness. That is where the ultimate tension as well as balance lies between the material culture and psyche of the brides of an ancient culture.

Adana Eight-Five by Owen Massey

15 7

The printing press used for the course is the Adana, a tabletop press for hobbyists; this model was introduced in 1953.

Pulling down the handle moves the twin rollers up and over the inked disc; if a forme has been inserted then the rollers will transfer ink to the type on their way down. At the same time, the platen is moved up towards the forme. Thus, once the type has been inked, pulling the handle all the way will create an impression: the printed sheet.
