contents: A look into a printing house around 1870 which gives an impression of the increase in scale that occurred around this time. On the left the composition room in operation, on the right the printer and behind him some men operating a number of rotary presses powered by flywheels. At the front, a bookbinder is busy with a cutter, an operation that would be taken over more and more by machines.
