One of the conditions of General Lee's surrender was to allow all of the defeated army to return home with their horses (if they had one) without being killed, captured or detained during their travels. General Grant agreed and all 30,000 Confederate soldiers were supplied with a parole pass that would allow that.
To accomplish this, Grant sent for two portable presses that were set up in Appomattox shortly after the surrender.
Press made by the Print Factory, which is a mobile printing group that designs and builds its own printing presses.
All Bodleian hand printing presses are being housed at The Story Museum, Oxford until renovations to the Bodleian Library are complete.

Just playing in the press room with the mixing of process ink. I used cyan, magenta, yellow and transparent white in this series.
NOTE: the ink shots are named for the order that I shot them. The higher numbers are the same ink, just more mixed than the lower numbers.
I visited a print operation yesterday and had the opportunity to shoot a few images. This is an image I found interesting. This image shows the row of ink wells on a four plus color printing press.
This image was captured with a Canon 5D Mark III and Canon 24-70mm lens. The image was processed in Adobe Lightroom 5 and Adobe Photoshop CC.
Produced a much better proof (seen behind the press) than smashing them with the page holder of the guillotine. Serious artist stuff here.

This is the side of one of the printing units on the new press. Lots of new gizmos compared to the old ones. Should be running next week!
