Nature resembles a printing-press, not the printer. It is an embroidery, not the Embroiderer. It is passive, not active. It is a pattern, not a source. It is an order, and not the Orderer. It is a law, not a Power. It is a code of laws proceeding from a will, not an external reality.

The theme for for "Smile on Saturday" for Saturday 7th of June is "portray the letter P", where, as the name suggests you need to portray the letter P in some way. In this case, I have used pretty pieces of découpage paper from my collection to form the letter P. There is even a pansy in there for good measure! I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Scrapbooking was a popular pastime in Victorian times for both children and adults. Creating a scrapbook was not only a craft project, it was also a way of preserving memories.
In the 1800s, the automated printing press was invented. Suddenly books and printed material became much more widely available. As well as writing in their commonplace books, people began to cut out and stick in printed items. Things like greeting cards, calling cards, postcards, prayer cards, advertising trading cards and newspaper clippings were collected. Some of these books contained a mix of personal journal entries, hand-drawn sketches and watercolours, along with various scraps of printed material. These books were literally books of scraps.
By the 1820s, collectable scraps had become more elaborate. Some items were embossed: a process by which a die (a metal stamp for cutting or pressing) was punched into the reverse side of the paper, giving the front a raised three-dimensional appearance.
In 1837, the first year of Queen Victoria's reign, the colour printing process known as chromolithography was invented. This lead to the production of ‘ready made’ scraps. Brightly coloured and embossed scraps were sold in sheets with the relief stamped out to the approximate shape of the image. These pre-cut scraps were connected by small strips of paper to keep them in place. The laborious task of cutting out small pictures was thus removed, and sales of scraps went soaring. Many of the best-quality scraps of the period were produced in Germany, where bakers and confectioners used small reliefs to decorate cakes and biscuits for special occasions such as christenings, weddings, Christmas and Easter.
These embossed chromolithograph scraps are of German and British origin and date from the 1880s.

I think the local newspaper will be so impressed with my typesetting skills that I'm bound to get the job there as a Printing Press Operator.
Today WAH is visiting the group Hand Created Type as it was on this day in 1468 that German craftsman, inventor, and printer Johannes Gutenberg, whose printing press was considered a history-changing invention, died in Mainz.
On the north side of the Plaza de Armas, facing the Palacio de los Capitanes Generales stands the Ayuntamiento or city hall, dating from 1743, and replacing an earlier, less imposing structure. Remarkably enough, this building was little damaged by the 1773 earthquakes. Today it houses two museums, the Museo de Santiago and the Museo del Libro Antiguo. The latter museum, the Museum of Old Books, is located in the main portal to the Ayuntamiento, the site of a printing press established in 1660.
Until a few years ago these bronze cannon barrels lay unattended under the arcade of the Ayuntamiento, mute testimony to Spanish colonial power.

The original Gaveaux printing press was brought to the mission from France in the early 1840s; between 1842 and 1849 it printed over 30,000 books and tracts, some of the first in Māori. After the mission left Russell in 1850 the press was amongst the belongings redistributed. In 1857 the Waikato Māori asked for the press, which was given to them by Bishop Pompallier. The press was used by the Maori King to print the Māori-language newspaper Te Paki o Matariki. The press remained in Waikato until the 1990s when it was returned to Pompallier by the Māori Queen Te Atairangikaahu.
While the building was originally built for a printery, it also housed a tannery for book-binding.

Broadway Tower is a folly on Broadway Hill, near the village of Broadway, in the English county of Worcestershire, at the second-highest point of the Cotswolds (after Cleeve Hill). Broadway Tower's base is 1,024 feet (312 metres) above sea level. The tower itself stands 65 feet (20 metres) high.
The "Saxon" tower was the brainchild of Capability Brown and designed by James Wyatt in 1794, in the form of a castle, and built for Lady Coventry in 1798-99. The tower was built on a "beacon" hill, where beacons were lit on special occasions. Lady Coventry wondered whether a beacon on this hill could be seen from her house in Worcester — about 22 miles (35 km) away — and sponsored the construction of the folly to find out. Indeed, the beacon could be seen clearly.
Over the years, the tower was home to the printing press of Sir Thomas Phillipps, and served as a country retreat for artists including William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones who rented it together in the 1880s. William Morris was so inspired by Broadway Tower and other ancient buildings that he founded the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings in 1877.
Today, the tower is a tourist attraction and the centre of a country park with various exhibitions open to the public at a fee, as well as a gift shop and restaurant. The place is on the Cotswold Way and can be reached by following the Cotswold Way from the A44 road at Fish Hill, or by a steep climb out of Broadway village.
Near the tower is a memorial to the crew of an A.W.38 Whitley bomber that crashed there during a training mission in June 1943.
In the late 1950s, Broadway Tower monitored nuclear fallout in England; an underground ROC Corps bunker was built 50 yards from the Tower. Manned continuously from 1961 and designated as a master post, the bunker was one of the last such Cold War bunkers constructed and, although officially stood down in 1991, the bunker is now one of the few remaining fully equipped facilities in England.

Each blue 'box' is a printing press which can print full color both sides of the newsprint paper. The Dallas Morning News has 17 presses. What you don't see is that these presses are 4 stories high. It starts with a roll of paper and the press prints, folds, cuts, and collates all in one continuous process. Basically, raw material goes in, a newspaper comes out. Fascinating....
If you have time, please watch this video, especially section 3 which shows the presses as they run.

Yes, Germany–and before that, China: Thank you for creating the moveable type and the printing press.
France, Alsace, Strasbourg, Place Gutenberg, with a historic two stage carrousel from 1900. This old carousel horses & all other figures are still made from wood & not of plastic.
The Place Gutenberg was built around 1100, in the centre of the square stands the statue of the printer Johannes Gutenberg by David d'Angers., holding in his hands a parchment where it is written: "Et la lumière fut", -and the light was-.
Gutenberg, born in Mainz, Germany, did indeed invent the printing press in Strasbourg, or at least did his first printing work, notably that of the Bible.

From the introduction of the printing press in 1440 in Germany onwards. All sorts of documents and books could now be produced fairly quickly and in greater numbers. The power of words.
After the September 2010 Christchurch earthquake liquefaction poured out of the ground mostly in the East of Christchurch. This silt, which was a form of sand was declared safe and would not harm gardens if it was spread around in moderation. After the February 2011 quake as a result of even more liquefaction and the sewers being ruptured, the liquefaction was declared as toxic. People clearing it up should wear a mask, boots and gloves especially when it had dried up and become dusty.
This just so happens to be the words found on an old printing press.

The Brotherhood began printing about 1745. They printed books, pamphlets and single sheets for the community and for outside customers until about 1792. They made their own paper and ink and bound books in leather and paper covers.
This boy was operating a printing press at the Colonial Days celebration in the Scera Park. This press was producing copies of the Declaration of Independence.

The home of the Chicago Tribune was the Freedom Center. It was a huge distribution and printing press for the newspaper. It was demolished to built the new Chicago Bally's casino. It was an amazing building to explore and take photos. I'll be posting also many photos before the demolition soon
This Chanfler and Price press was used to print the first edition of the Western Slope Criterion in Olathe, CO in 1905. Doesn't say if subsequent issues used this or another press. They were called snappers because they snapped shut and people had to be careful to not get their hands caught between the plates.

Wynkyn de Worde, Alsatian printer, was William Caxton's assistant, and in about 1500 he was the first printer to set up shop in Fleet Street, which became for centuries the world's most famous centre of printing. He was not just a craftsman because his place in history is that of the first publisher to popularise the products of the printing press. His output was huge, with more then 700 known works over a period of forty years. He produced a great variety of books: children's books, short histories, poetry, romances, instructions for pilgrims, marriage, household practice and animal husbandry. He laid the foundations for commercial publishing in Britain. This is a revised third edition, with a new introduction by Lotte Hellinga and Mary Erler, and a detailed chronological bibliography of his works.

1991 habe ich einen VHS Kurs "Radierungen" besucht und dieses ist eins der Ergebnisse.
In 1991 I attended an adult education course "Etchings" and this is one of the results.
------------------------------------
Radierung (von lateinisch radere „kratzen, wegnehmen, entfernen“) bezeichnet ein grafisches Tiefdruckverfahren der künstlerischen Druckgrafik. Bei der Ätzradierung wird die Zeichnung in eine zunächst auf die Platte aufgebrachte relativ weiche Abdeckschicht gekratzt. Anschließend wird die Platte mit einer Ätzflüssigkeit geätzt, wobei nur die Stellen angegriffen werden, an welchen die Deckschicht verletzt wurde. Nach dem Spülen der Platte wird die Deckschicht entfernt.Die bei der Verletzung entstandenen Vertiefungen der Platte können Druckfarbe aufnehmen, wenn man die gesamte Platte einfärbt und mit einem Lappen oder ähnlichem die auf der glatten, unverletzten Oberfläche stehende Farbe wieder abwischt. Durch Aufpressen eines angefeuchteten Papiers wird die Farbe aus den Vertiefungen und Rillen wieder herausgesaugt und erscheint auf dem Druckpapier.
Etching is traditionally the process of using strong acid or mordant to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design in intaglio (incised) in the metal.
In traditional pure etching, a metal (usually copper, zinc or steel) plate is covered with a waxy ground which is resistant to acid.[15] The artist then scratches off the ground with a pointed etching needle[16] where he or she wants a line to appear in the finished piece, so exposing the bare metal. The plate is then dipped in a bath of acid, technically called the mordant (French for "biting") or etchant, or has acid washed over it.[18] The acid "bites" into the metal (it converts metal into salt solution and hydrogen) to a depth depending on time and acid strength, leaving behind the drawing skillfully carved into the wax on the plate. The remaining ground is then cleaned off the plate. For first and renewed uses the plate is inked in any chosen non-corrosive ink all over and the surface ink drained and wiped clean, leaving ink in the etched forms.
The plate is then put through a high-pressure printing press together with a sheet of paper (often moistened to soften it).[19] The paper picks up the ink from the etched lines, making a print.
