It seems like these days everyone is getting their photos of the UP job working the Chicago Tribune Freedom Center printing press before it is torn down and replaced by the new casino. I thought I would add a few of my own.
In this view the UP engine is heading out on the Tribune spur after dropping off a single boxcar load of newsprint on a hazy Friday morning. It previously pulled out the empties. Above is the Ohio/Ontario Feeder Ramp. The massive, grey building in the background on the right is the former Montgomery Ward catalog building which was served by the Milwaukee Road's C&E Line.
I caught it heading south along the Kennedy Expressway near Lawrence Avenue around 10:30 this morning on its way to the Tribune if anyone else wants to catch it. It goes down there M-W-F. Blommer did not see any action and the train later went down the Cragin Line to work Alpha Baking.
Newspaper production, BTW, will come out of the former and recently closed Milwaukee Journal Sentinel printing press in West Milwaukee which Tribune parent Alden purchased earlier this year, once the Freedom Center is shut down. Print copies of the Tribune and other papers it produces under contract for the Sun-Times, Wall Street Journal, and New York Times will then be trucked down in the mornings to the Chicago area for distribution.
Seen as a operating display at the Southeastern Old threshers Reunion at Denton Farm Park in Denton, NC.
A printing press with type set for the Declaration of Independence. It amazing how the spread of information advances the cause of freedom and knowledge.
Flemish artist, Willem Vermandere, at work in his studio. He is standing at his printing press, and we were discussing the process. A large roller is rolled in ink and then rolled over the woodcut. Then the paper is placed on the woodcut, and the press moves over it, applying the ink to the paper. Printing is a physically demanding activity and requires a lot of skill. You need to get just the right amount of ink on the paper to create a perfect print.
In recent years he has been prolific in graphic arts and produced several series. His woodcuts are popular with collectors, and his exhibitions have been very successful. Willem works intuitively. His art pours out of him, and his images are filled with inner energy and emotion.

Franz Traunfellner (1913 – 1986), an Austrian painter and graphic artist, grew up in a peasant family. Already acknowledged as a painter while still teaching himself painting, then attended the School of Graphic Arts in Vienna.
He portrayed people of the Waldviertel (Lower Austria) in wood engravings and carvings, etchings and lithographs.
Yesterday I visited a little museum and exhibition, where I enjoyed a little part of Traunfellner´s work that I adore a lot.
In my pic there can be seen his self portrait and two of his printing presses the artist worked with.
For more information and pictures from Franz Traunfellner look here.
Invented in 1812 by George Clymer. "Columbia" was another name for America.
This machine was manufactured in London in 1847.

Physically demanding shoot; ::: very small space, lots of gear, contortionist positions to frame and focus.... then a bad lens flare from an open door which I had to block with my body , half entangled in the old machinery.... with really really long exposures....
, on one foot...
..... great fun but I was longing to do some yoga after.

"Newcastle Emlyn is linked to the neighbouring village of Adpar by a bridge across the river Teifi. It was in Adpar that the first printing press in Wales was established. In the early 18th century a more literate population led to an increased demand for religious books. In 1718 Isaac Carter established a printing press in the rooms at the Salutation Inn in Adpar. Carter published a pair of ballads before moving his press to Carmarthen seven years later. A plaque opposite the bridge marks the site of Carters' historic press."

A printing press at the Technoseum in Mannheim, all set to print advertisement for more printing presses. Who said there is no humor in academia? There would have been room for more depth of field here, but well, I didn't really get the luxury of time for photography there.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
American made Columbian Press is a hand-operated printing press invented in the United States by George Clymer, around 1813. Made from cast iron, it was a very successful design and many thousands were made by him and by others during the 19th century.

Fuck the Chicago Typewriter and it's wimpy .45 ACP baby ammo bring on the 7.62X51 Heavy Printing Press
Browser crash so I had to go by the last save but wanted to let everyone know I am not done building. I do have something that I worked on a while back I am planning on posting soon I just have to finish the description.
Made in 0.6 before a glorious crash.
Next to the Old North Church is a small room with the original printing press that first published the Declaration of Independence, and by horseback, made to all 13 colonies in 3 days.
Just to prove that I did sort of finish it, although no rollers yet, my rusty old Model 1 brought back to life.
The Grade II Listed Museum Of Lincolnshire Life on Burton Road, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The museum is housed in a Victorian barracks built for the Royal North Lincoln Militia in 1857. It is a fine example of Victorian military architecture and is a Grade II listed building.
The Militia were a force of part time volunteer soldiers whose main role was home defence. The Royal North Lincoln Militia used the barracks for training and administrative purposes and the site served as their headquarters until 1880. From this date the militia were based at the New Barracks (later Sobraon Barracks), also on Burton Road, which was headquarters to the Lincolnshire Regiment. In 1881 the Royal North Lincoln Militia officially amalgamated with the County Regiment to become the 3rd Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment.
For 20 years the site fell into relative disuse until in 1901 it was once again used by a military force. The Lincolnshire Imperial Yeomanry, a voluntary cavalry unit, used the barracks as its headquarters until it was disbanded in 1920.
The barracks building remained in military use, occupied by a variety of territorial and other army units, until 1963. Just 6 years later, on 29th July 1969, the Lincolnshire Association for the Arts and Heritage opened the Museum of Lincolnshire Life. The museum was run independently by the association until 1974, when it was transferred to Lincolnshire County Council.
Since its beginnings the museum has built up a fascinating collection of over 250,000 objects, both on display and in store. Today visitors can enjoy the charming period room and shop settings displaying our wonderful social history collection, with a working Victorian kitchen and printing press during special event days. In addition the museum boasts a nationally important agricultural and industrial collection, including impressive steam engines, threshing machines and the iconic World War One tank developed and built by Foster’s of Lincoln. The museum is also home to the Royal Lincolnshire Regimental Galleries.
Epcot's Spaceship Earth.
In the mid fifteenth-century, Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable type printing press. His new device now makes information available to the masses. In the background of this scene we see pressmen sorting paper and setting type while in the foreground, Gutenberg examines a page from the bible he is currently printing. This sheet is an exact replica from the Gutenberg Bible on display at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California.

Gutenberg in 1439 was the first European to use movable type. Among his many contributions to printing are: the invention of a process for mass-producing movable type; the use of oil-based ink for printing books; adjustable molds; mechanical movable type; and the use of a wooden printing press similar to the agricultural screw presses of the period. His truly epochal invention was the combination of these elements into a practical system that allowed the mass production of printed books and was economically viable for printers and readers alike. Gutenberg's method for making type is traditionally considered to have included a type metal alloy and a hand mould for casting type. The alloy was a mixture of lead, tin, and antimony that melted at a relatively low temperature for faster and more economical casting, cast well, and created a durable type.

I spent 5 hours working in the Black Rock Press today - setting type, and getting my hands covered in ink. I'm making a little photo book. Only a 4 edition run of this series.

The celebrated printing press of Derge Parkhang is a magnificent four-storey building with original frescoes that were blackened by smoke during the wanton destruction of the 1960s as was the Chinese Cultural revolution (gratuitously cruel), but recently restored with painstaking care. Beyond the portico, there is an inner courtyard, giving access to the temple on the ground level, the printing works on the second and third levels, and the rooftop chapels on the fourth level. The temple, known as the Chodzokhang, contains original exquisite images of (L-R): the three emanations of Manjughosa, namely: Sakya Pandita, flanked by Tsongkhapa and Longchen Rabjampa: along with Four-armed Avalokiteshvara, Amitabha, Shakyamuni, Padmasambhava, Manjughosa, Tara, Pelpung Situ Chokyi Jungne, and King Tenpa Tsering.
Upstairs, is the precious collection of xylograph blocks, including the Derge editions of Kangyur, Tangyur, Nyingma Gyudbum and other works, which are constantly in demand throughout the towns, villages and monasteries of Tibet.

Die Columbia-Handpresse wurde 1813 von George Clymer, einem Mechaniker aus Philadelphia, erfunden und ab 1820 in Europa eingesetzt.
Charakteristisch für Columbia-Handpresse sind die reichen Verzierungen. Ein Weißkopfseeadler fungiert als Gegengewicht oben an der Presse. In seinen Krallen hält er die Donnerkeile des Jupiters, einen Olivenzweig und ein Füllhorn.

The Columbian design is notable for its elaborate, symbolic ornamentation. The cast-iron bald eagle on the top lever represents the United States. It clutches in one talon a cornucopia, representing prosperity and plenty, while the other clutches an olive branch, representing peace.
