Derge ParkhangThe Derge Parkhang, (pronunciation "Dehr-geh", alternative names Dege Parkhang, Derge Sutra Printing Temple, Dege Yinjing Yuan, Derge Barkhang, Dege Barkhang, Barkhang, Parkhang, Bakong Scripture Printing Press and Monastery) is one of the foremost cultural treasures of Tibet. Derge is a county seat in a high valley in Kham, an eastern districts eastern district of traditional Tibet which is now part of China's Sichuan Province. The Derge Parkhang is a living institution devoted to the printing and preservation of Tibetan literature, a printing temple that holds the greatest number of Tibetan woodblocks in the world.
The Derge Sutra Printing Temple (Parkhang in Tibetan) is one of the most important cultural, social, religious and historical institutions in Tibet. Founded in 1729 by Dongba Tseren, the fortieth King of Derge (1678–1739), the Derge Parkhang is an active center for publication of Tibetan Buddhist sutra, commentaries, and thangka as well as works of history, technology, biography, medicine and literature. Books are still being made in the same way as they have been for almost three hundred years: handprinted from hand-carved wooden blocks. Cinnabar is used to colour the text red, in which workers can print eight to fifteen pages manually a minute, 2500 in a day, from wooden blocks that have already been engraved with text. Thirty printers are in working condition where printers work in pairs, one puts ink on wooden press, later cleaned in a trough, while the other rolls a piece of paper using a roller which is imprinted red with sayings of Buddha.
The history of the Derge Parkhang is closely bound to the history of the Kingdom of Derge. From a mythical ancestor in the eighth century, the Derge royal dynasty rose to found and rule an influential independent Tibetan kingdom in the Kham area of Eastern Tibet, controlling a large area straddling the Drichu River (called the Jinsha River in Chinese and forming the upper reaches of the Yangtse River) on what is now the border between the Tibetan Autonomous Region and Sichuan. Astute politicians, the Kings of Derge maintained political power through generous patronage of religious institutions: their unusual pattern of patronage for all five schools of Buddhism meant strong support for monasteries, learning and art in the area under their political control. They were also able stay on good terms with both of their powerful neighbors, the governments of Lhasa and Beijing. A gradual weakening of the family through the nineteenth century followed by a succession struggle in the early twentieth century brought about the effective end of their political control, but they remained in nominal power until the annexation of Tibet by the Chinese Communists in 1950.

Another reccie to an incredible old printing press.
found a stall at Renegade Craft Fair where you could design your own things to be printed with and they would do it there and then for you. I thought Leslie, you would have been soooo excited to see this!

A wood-engraved tailpiece found in the book La Typographie, A Poem, by M. Leon Pelletier, published in 1832.
Accession Number: LSH 0090/91
Description: Hand operated printing press known as the 'Davos Press'. The press stands on a mahogany base; the frame is painted dark blue enhanced with double gold painted lines, the handle is painted orange / red colour. This machine can print an area about 6 inches by 4 inches on single sheets of paper or card, using rollers and a set of printers' type
Further Notes: This press was first used by Robert Louis Stevenson's stepson, Samuel Lloyd Osbourne in San Francisco and taken to Silverado in May 1880. It was then taken to Edinburgh and to Switzerland, in 1880 - 1, where, at Davos, it was used by Lloyd to supplement the family income by printing numerous small orders such as invitation cards, announcements and the programme for the weekly concerts at the Hotel Belvedere where they were staying. Lloyd write the story 'Black Canyon' or 'Life in the Wild West' which he printed as a small booklet. This was followed by short poems and woodcuts 'submitted by Stevenson including 'Moral Emblems'. The Press was brought back to 17 Heriot Row, Edinburgh but broke down and the last booklet 'The Graver and the Pen' had to be printed commercially in Kingussie.
History: This printing press was gifted to the Robert Louis Stevenson Club in 1932 and was exhibited in their head office in Howard Place, Edinburgh. It is currently on display at the Writers' Museum, Lady Stair's Close, Edinburgh.

From looking at this thing, I'm guessing it was built around the 1930s or so. And it still runs. It stil gets used for some small jobs. It's a pretty cool piece of old hardware.

The Musée des Arts et Métiers, (Museum of Arts and Crafts) is a museum in Paris that houses the collection of the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (National Conservatory of Arts and Industry), which was founded in 1794 as a depository for the preservation of scientific instruments and inventions.
In 1794, Abbot Henri Gregoire founded the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers, designed to be a collection of machines, tools and models created in the fields of technology and science. The Conservatory, established in 1802 and located in the old priory of Saint Martin des Champs, was also an institution of education and the fore-runner of the Musee des Arts et Metiers.
Since its foundation, the museum has been housed in the previosly deserted priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs in the rue Réaumur in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris.
The Benedictine priory and church of Saint Martin des Champs was built in the mid-11th century, the first Gothic structure to be built in Paris. However, this was destroyed and replaced with the church that stands there now, built in the 13th century.
Improvements on it continued through the years; Henri III constructed the large portal on rue St. Martin; in 1626, Mansart built the high altar in the apse; a cloister was completed in 1720.
During the French Revolution the priory was pillaged and the monks executed, leaving it deserted until the Conservatory occupied it in 1802.
During renovations in 1993, archaeological discoveries confirmed the existence of a Merovingian necropolis located beneath the nave of the medieval church, dating from the 6th-7th centuries. Over 100 plaster coffins were found.
The Musee des Arts et Metiers is organized into 7 departments: Scientific Instruments; Materials; Construction; Communication; Energy; Mechanics; Transportation. Each department is displayed chronologically.
The museum begins with Scientific Instruments, exhibiting tools of astronomy used for determining the place of the sun in the zodiac, weights and measures such as Charlemagne's Pile, the royal standard of weight at the end of the 15th century and Pascal's calculators, designed by Blaise Pascal when he was 19 years old.
The equipment of Antoine Lavoisier's laboratory from the mid-1700s is exhibited. Lavoisier is regarded as the father of modern chemistry.
The equipment used by Foucault for determining the speed of light is displayed, which he measured while working at the Observatory of Paris in 1862. Numerous other exhibits chronicle scientific development up to the 1990s and robotic technology.
In the Materials department we discover the creation of glass, brick and fabrics, including the development of looms and the factories which produce the vast quantities of the materials used today.
In the Construction section of the museum one can see the model used in 1690 for constructing Jules Mansart's Eglise du Dome at the Hôtel les Invalides.
Also exhibited is the model for constructing the dome of what was the Wheat Market of 1809, now the Bourse, the building for the Paris stock market, located adjacent to the Garden of Les Halles. This dome, built in 1763, was one of the first metal structures to be constructed in France.
In the Communication department are exhibited printing presses, typewriters, telephone equipment from the early 1900s, telegraph systems from 1860, radio development from 1924 onward, the history of cameras, phonographs, recording instruments for producing sound for cinema and satellites, with a model of the Telstar which enabled the first live trans-Atlantic television transmission in 1962 from New York to England.
The Energy department displays the history of the machinery used for harnessing every form of energy including steam, wind, electrical, atomic and solar.
The Mechanics department of the Musee des Arts et Metiers is impressive with its collection of the development of mechanical machinery. Here are several "hands-on" exhibits where one can operate pulleys and pumps and gears.
The Transportation department shows everything from the bicycle to rocket ships. This is the final department visited in the museum and an impressive section of it is located in the chapel of the old church.
Here we find the first "horseless carriages", steam powered trains, propeller driven racing cars, modern cars cut in half and complete airplanes which are suspended overhead, dramatically contrasting with the ceiling of this medieval church.
Also found in this part of the museum is an in-motion Foucault Pendulum. This 156 year old demonstration continues to fascinate and prove the measurable reality of Earth's rotation. The actual orb used by Foucault on February 3, 1851, at the Paris Observatory, his first public demonstration of his pendulum, is exhibited here and protected within a glass case.
The museum, which underwent major renovation in 1990, includes an additional building adjacent to the abbey, with larger objects remaining in the abbey itself.
The museum has over 80,000 objects and 15,000 drawings in its collection, with 40,000 at the Paris site.
The museum appears in literature as the scene of the climax of the novel Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco.
All Bodleian hand printing presses are being housed at The Story Museum, Oxford until renovations to the Bodleian Library are complete.

This is not supposed to happen. It’s very lucky that nobody was between the press and the pile of crates that cushioned its landing.

Fiji's First Printing Press
This Press played a pivotal role in the early mission work in Fiji.
It arrived in 1838, first used on the island of Lakeba, Lau under the direction of Reverend David Cargill.
The first cathechism in the Lakeba dialect was published in March 1839. In July of that year the press was transported to Rewa where is continued to print mission literature until 1844.
It was evacuated to Viwa Island off the Tailevu coast to escape the danger of the vicious Bau, Rewa war. Here under the care of Reverend John Hunt, it continued to print religious literature, including copied of the Fijian New Testament. After Hunt's death it was operated by Reverend James Calvert and a young shipwrecked French sailor, Edward Martin.
