Samuel W. Lowe of Philadelphia invented the Lowe printing press, an unusual conical cylinder press patented in 1856. Like Adams's Cottage printing press, it did not include a frisket and included an automatic tympan. The rights for the press were sold in 1858 to Joseph Watson, who marketed both presses in Boston and Philadelphia.

My sister Rachael showed me around the Seacourt Print Workshop at the Balloo Industrial Estate. Rachael has a Fine Art degree from the University of Ulster. She showed me some of her recent work, including cyanotype and photo intaglio prints. She has been using old photographs bought at flea markets as well as some of my own images, to create her latest batch of prints.
This is the maker's nameplate, dated 1825, from a beautiful old cast iron printing press in the Workshop.

Fleet Street, London EC4.
1930 neo-classical building, by Elcock, Sutcliffe & Tait, the Egyptian-style columns and ornate clock are the only real nods to Art Deco. The printing presses in the basement rocked Fleet Street when they were in action but the offices are now used by quieter neighbours: Goldman Sachs International.
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

Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra
Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra (literally 'Shed of 2½ Days') is a large and imposing structure in the city of Ajmer in Rajasthan, India. It is one of the oldest mosques in India, and the oldest surviving monument in Ajmer.
Originally a Sanskrit college with a temple of Saraswati within it, the building was converted into a mosque by Qutb-ud-Din-Aibak, on the orders of Muhammad Ghori, in 1192 CE. The structure was completed in 1199 CE, and was further beautified by Iltutmish of Delhi in 1213 CE.
An early example of the Indo-Islamic architecture, most of the building was constructed by Hindu masons, under the supervision of Afghan managers.
Some of the materials used for the original construction may have come from destroyed Hindu and Jain temples. The mosque has retained most of the original Hindu and Jain features, especially on the ornate pillars, with only the effigies of Hindu Gods and Goddesses removed neatly.
The structure was used as a mosque up to 1947. After the independence of India, the structure was turned over to the Jaipur circle of ASI (Archaeological Survey of India), and is today visited by people of all religions, as a fine example of a mix of Indian, Hindu, Muslim and Jain architectures.
Ajmer
Ajmer is one of the most important and oldest cities in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The city was established as Ajayameru (translated as "Invincible Hills") by a Chahamana ruler, either Ajayaraja I or Ajayaraja II, and served as their capital until the 12th. century CE.
Ajmer is surrounded by the Aravalli Mountains. It has been a municipality since 1869.
History of Ajmer
Ajmer was originally known as Ajayameru. The city was founded by an 11th-century Chahamana king Ajaydeva. Historian Dasharatha Sharma notes that the earliest mention of the city.
In 1556, Ajmer came under the Mughal Empire after being conquered by Mughal Emperor Akbar. It was made the capital of the eponymous Ajmer Subah.
The city was used as a military base for campaigns against Rajput rulers, and on a number of occasions became the site of celebration when a campaign bore success.
Mughal Emperors and their nobles made generous donations to the city, and endowed it with constructions such as Akbar's palace and pavilions along the Ana Sagar. Their most prominent building activities were in the dargah and its vicinity.
Jahanara Begum and Dara Shikoh, children of Shah Jahan, were both born in the city in 1614 and 1615 respectively.
Mughal patronage of the city had waned by the beginning of the 18th century. In 1818, the British gained authority over the city. Colonial-era Ajmer possessed a central jail, a large General Hospital, and two smaller hospitals according to a 1908 Gazetteer. It was the headquarters of a native regiment and of a Railway Volunteer corps.
From the 1900's, the United Free Church of Scotland, the church of England, the Roman Catholics, and the American Episcopal Methodists established missions there.
At that time there were twelve printing presses in the city, from which eight weekly newspapers were published.
Ajmer Climate
Ajmer has a hot, semi-arid climate with over 55 centimetres (22 inches) of rain every year, but most of the rain occurs in the monsoon months, between June and September. Temperatures remain relatively high throughout the year, with the summer months of April to early July having an average daily temperature of about 30 °C (86 °F).
During the monsoon there is frequent heavy rain and thunderstorms, but flooding is not a common occurrence. The winter months of November to February are mild and temperate with average temperatures ranging from 15–18 °C (59–64 °F) with little or no humidity. There are, however, occasional cold weather fronts that cause temperatures to fall to near freezing levels.
Ajmer Demographics
According to the 2011 census, Ajmer had a population of 542,321 in the city itself.
The female to male ratio in the city was 947/1,000. The literacy rate in the city was 86.52%, male literacy being 92.08% and female literacy being 80.69%.
Ajmer's population growth in the decade was 18.48%; this compares to a growth figure of 20.93% in the previous decade.

It is partially enclosed by a 2 miles (3 km) wall some 20 feet thick and as many high, built of huge blocks of stone, cut and squared.

Akbar and his queen used to come here by foot every year on pilgrimage from Agra in observance of a vow when he prayed for a son.
The large pillars called "Kose ('Mile') Minars" (Kos Minar), erected at intervals of about two miles (3 km) along the entire way between Agra and Ajmer mark the places where the royal pilgrims halted every day. One such is near the private bus station in Ajmer City.
About 125,000 pilgrims visit the site every day.
-- Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra

It is an ASI protected monument. Originally built as a Sanskrit college, the mosque underwent an evolution in the 12th. century under the reign of Qutb-ud-Din-Aibak.
-- Mayo College
The college was founded in 1875 at the suggestion of Lord Mayo as a place where the sons of chiefs and nobles might receive an education to fit them for their high positions and important duties.
It was known as the "Indian Eton", as a number of Indian princes studied in this college. The main building, in white marble, is a classic example of Indo-Saracenic architecture.
In front of the college is memorial marble statue of Lord Mayo.
The boarding-houses are arranged in the form of a horseshoe, with the college in the centre of the base.
Some of the Native States built boarding-houses, while the Government of India presented the college park, comprising 167 acres and formerly the site of the old Residency.
The Government also erected the main building, the residences of the principal and vice-principal, and the Ajmer boarding- house. Furthermore it provided the salaries of the English staff.
The foundation-stone of the college was laid in 1878, and the building was opened by the Marquis of Dufferin in 1885.
John Lockwood Kipling, father of Nobel Laureate, Rudyard Kipling, was a principal of Mayo College.

The embankment also contains the site of the former hammam (bath-room). Three of the five pavilions were at one time formed into residences for British officials, while the embankment was covered with office buildings and enclosed by gardens.
The houses and enclosures were finally removed in 1900–1902, when the two south pavilions were re-erected, the marble parapet completed, and the embankment restored, as far as practicable, to its early condition.
