EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young boy engrossed in the art of printing. Seated at a writing desk, he is seen using a hectograph (litho) to create copies of his work. The image is taken from "The Wonder Book of Things To Do" published in 1950 by Ward, Lock and Co Ltd. In this snapshot from the early twentieth century, we witness the child's dedication to his craft as he carefully applies ink onto the lithograph plate. His focused expression reveals both concentration and joy in this leisurely activity. The print shop setting adds an air of authenticity to the scene, with shelves filled with paper rolls and various tools scattered around. It transports us back to an era when physical activities like these were cherished forms of entertainment during spare time. As we observe this little printer at work, it serves as a reminder that even children can find fulfillment through manual exercises that stimulate their creativity. This image beautifully encapsulates the innocence and curiosity of youth while showcasing traditional methods of reproduction before digital technology took over. Bridgeman Images has preserved this precious moment for us to appreciate, allowing us to step into history and marvel at how simple pleasures could captivate young minds in days gone by.
