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.

Gear: 2 flashlights , laptop, tripod , nikon d40:
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.
Just to prove that I did sort of finish it, although no rollers yet, my rusty old Model 1 brought back to life.
Strathalbyn.
A Special Survey of 4,000 acres was taken out along the Angas River in 1839 for George Hall (secretary to Governor Gawler) and William Mein and others. Land was surveyed from the mouth of the Angas along the river to about where Macclesfield is now situated. Other contributors to the Mouth of the Angas Special Survey were Strathalbyn settlers including: 806 acres purchased by Dr John Rankine, Blackwood Park; 166 acres purchased by William Rankine, Glenbarr; 410 acres purchased by Donald McLean; 81 acres purchased by Edward and Charles Stirling of Hampton and later the Lodge. William and Nicol Mein kept 728 acres for themselves but George Hall (who kept about 930 acres) was a Colonial Office employee with an eye on speculation. He also paid £4,000 for the Great Bend Special Survey along the River Murray from Morgan to Blanchetown but it was claimed this was taken for Governor Gawler but in Hall’s name to avoid scandal! But the land was not worth £1 per acre! The Meins were graziers and also took out Occupational Licenses for leasehold land in 1843. They were Scots so they donated £600 for the building fund for the Presbyterian Church in Adelaide in 1840. But in 1843 they dissolved a business partnership in Adelaide and they appear to have left the colony perhaps to join their relatives in NSW. Meins did not stay on to become Strathalbyn pioneers unlike the Rankines, McLeans and Stirlings. The other prominent early founder was William Dawson- hence the creek flowing in front of Glen Barr is the Dawson Creek which enters the Angas River in Strathalbyn. Dawson Banks is another of the grand old properties in Strathalbyn.
Stirlings chose their land to the north of the town and built Hampden and the Lodge; John Rankine chose his land to the north of the town and built Blackwood Park whilst brother William Rankine chose land to the south on Dawson Creek and built Glenbarr house. The first public building in the fledgling town of Strathalbyn was the Strathalbyn Hotel erected in 1840 and the second was probably St. Andrews Presbyterian Church which opened in 1844 with additions in 1869. As most of the settlers were Scottish the name chosen for the town was Scottish and the first church was Presbyterian. The first farmer to produce a crop was David Gollan. His interest in wheat led him to open the first flour mill in 1850 in the centre of the town. Mill Bridge adjacent to the flourmill bridged the Angas River. As the town progressed quickly a local council was formed in 1854 with the Stirlings, Rankines and Archibald McLean (investor in Langhorne Creek) being among the first councillors. The Stirlings were especially important to Strathalbyn. Edward Stirling (the father) joined into a partnership with (Sir) Thomas Elder and Robert Barr Smith in 1855. Stirling stayed with the company as it funded the Moonta and Wallaroo copper mines in 1861 then he withdrew but remained as an investor in the mines. The company went on to become Elder Smith and Co the most successful SA 19th century company. Edward Stirling had two sons, (Sir) Edward Stirling a famed surgeon who lived at St. Vigeans at Stirling and (Sir) Lancelot Stirling, local Member of Parliament for the Strathalbyn district, sheep and cattle breeder and company director. The Stirlings lived in the family home Hampden until it burnt down around 1870. Then they moved into the Lodge which was extended and remained the family home for Sir Lancelot Stirling after his father Edward died in 1873. Lancelot lived there until he died in 1932. The Stirlings of Strathalbyn also owned and operated Nalpa Station on Lake Albert and Highland Valley estate. The Lodge is now the centre of a new suburban development at Strathalbyn.
From the beginning Strathalbyn prospered because of its access to water from the Angas River, its reliable rainfall, its genial climate for cropping and from the patronage of its wealthy founders. The town was laid out in 1840 and blocks sold at that time. But Strathalbyn has always had a range of local industry. A foundry operated in the town from the mid 1850s as well as the usual businesses of blacksmith, saddlery etc, and the town handled coach services to Wellington via Langhorne Creek from around 1854. It was also one of the first towns in SA to have its own gas works started by David Trenouth in 1868. By 1870 the small urban centre of Strathalbyn had gas street lights! The gas works operated until 1917 when an electrical service took over power provision. From an early date Strathalbyn also had its own newspaper and printing press the Southern Argus housed in Argus House which was built 1867/68. The Southern Argus which is still published, is SA’s oldest country newspaper. In 1912 it established an offshoot - the Victor Harbor Times. In terms of transportation and the transport of goods Strathalbyn prospered as it was the terminus of the horse drawn tram service from Port Elliott and Goolwa in 1869. That is why the Terminus Hotel is so named. In 1884 that line was converted to a broad gauge rail line for steam engines and linked at Mt Barker with the line to Adelaide. Strathalbyn had a flour mill from 1850 as noted above and in the 1860s the town had its own brewery. The heyday of business boom for Strathalbyn was in the 1860s and 1870 when so many of the fine town buildings were erected.

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.

Unicorn Bookshop Mural ... Brighton
This is only a portion of the mural ...
Unicorn Bookshop Mural
Dedicated to Bill Butler and the Unicorn Bookshop
Est. 1965-1975
"One of the good guys who died too young."
The Unicorn Bookshop was a cultural hub in Brighton during the 1960's and an important part of its hippie counterculture scene. Also home to Unicorn Press, the enterprise was run by infamous Bill Butler, a larger than life homesexual American, who was easily recognised due to his large stature and loud shirts, Bill loved nothing more than philosophical debate, pushing the status quo and supporting creativity.
The bookshop gained notoriety when it became embroiled in an obscenity law suit brought against Bill for publishing J G Ballard's Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan in 1968. The bookshop was fined a hefty sum and as much as Bill tried to appeal the decision he eventually lost the fight and found himself in huge amounts of debt. Poets, friends and artists rallied to his aid, trying to help him, but the costs were too great. In the end the shop closed down and the printing press moved with Bill and some friends to a commune in Wales.
Sadly, in October 1977, Bill Butler died of a drug overdose. Possibly it was suicide.
Originally the mural outside the shop was painted by John Upton, hailed to be the UK's first street artist. He painted several other murals around the city, including one outside the Brighton Combination, a new media and theatre collective which used to be housed in a premises off of West Street, and another at the University of Sussex.
Sponsored by Brighton and Hove Council, the new mural has been reimagined by Brighton's current John Upton - street artist Sinna One. Also responsible for the Prince Albert Pub's dead rock star mural and the various BT connection boxes around town, Sinna One has added a modern twist to the design with Adventure Time characters, whilst still keeping the essence of the original image.
Found this in what used to be the paper store area at the newspaper where I work today. I assume it's ink and someone has left their mark in the most literal fashion.

The Albion press is a model of early iron hand printing press, originally designed and manufactured in London by Richard Whittaker Cope around 1820.
This has become my little British-made printing press corner, with just enough room to shift the Adana 8x5 or the Horizontal Quarto into position for printing. The old press cabinet on which they rest has a working surface that is 31 inches off the floor, a perfect height for both of the presses. The small imposing stone (yes it is really stone) and furniture rack raises the working surface another 11 inches which is handy for small forms. The 8x5 has new rollers from Caslon Ltd. and will probably be pressed into service before I can re-paint it, at least as long as the chipping silver paint doesn't cause problems.
This is my final set of shots with Leica M lenses on a Fuji GFX 100S.
Since the primary problem with using lenses for the Leica M mount on a Fujifilm GFX 100S is residual color-casting that often remains even after cropping out the heavy vignetting, one thought is to convert the images to black and white. The Fuji cameras provide many interesting film simulation modes that are really nice, and the list includes several B&W renderings. The Acros simulator with a Yellow filter is especially effective.
So here are a few shots taken with a Leica 28mm Summilux-M, all at f/5.6. This is an old electro-mechanical printing press, probably from the late 1800s to early 1900s, kept on display at a very modern print shop in Santa Clara, California.
This is from a series of portraits I did of a local printer here in my town. The awesome thing about this gentleman is that he runs a print shop with nothing but presses from the 1800's
