EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Heinz Zinram, we witness the meticulous process of developing a surface plate in the Replika Department of the Lund Humphries Printing Works. The surface plate, a large, flat, and highly polished plate used as a reference for maintaining consistent printing pressure and register in traditional printmaking, is submerged in a fluid solution within a checked basin. The employee, dressed in a white shirt and protective gloves, carefully monitors the plate's progress. The historical significance of this scene lies in the traditional methods being employed, a testament to the rich history of printmaking. The Replika Department, a dedicated space within the Lund Humphries Printing Works, is committed to preserving and replicating historical printing techniques. The fluid solution, carefully selected for its ability to reveal the slightest imperfections on the plate's surface, is essential for ensuring the highest quality in print production. The employee's focused expression and the steady hand with which he handles the plate underscore the importance of precision and dedication in the printmaking process. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of printmaking, inviting us to appreciate the intricacies and nuances of a craft that has endured for centuries. The Lund Humphries Printing Works, with its commitment to preserving historical techniques and maintaining the highest standards of print production, continues to be an integral part of this rich and vibrant artistic tradition.
