contents: The man on the right in the foreground is cutting gold leaf on a cushion, the man sitting on the left is applying it to the binding. The binding with the applied gilding is then laid on the carriage of the gilding press which can be seen on the right in the background on the photograph. A binder pushes the slide in and then pulls the handle of the press across. A motif or letters in gold are imprinted using tools on a blocking plate. The press is heated: for a deep shine and for durability it is necessary to heat the gilding press to the correct temperature. The man on the left is brushing off excess gilding.
