EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the mid-1850s, showcases a pair of Patent Letter Copying Presses manufactured by Advert, Waterlow & Sons. The presses, with their intricately designed mahogany stands, are a testament to the Victorian era's obsession with elegance and precision. The presses, along with their accompanying stationery cases, were designed to facilitate the creation of high-quality, personalized letters. The presses, which are adorned with ornate details, are a marvel of engineering. The ink-filled reservoirs, located at the base of each press, were filled using an inkwell, allowing the user to easily and evenly distribute ink onto the letters. The presses were then used to apply the ink to the paper, ensuring a clean and crisp impression. The mahogany stands, with their smooth, polished surfaces and intricate carvings, not only served a functional purpose but also added an air of sophistication to the letter-writing process. The stationery cases, which are also made of mahogany, were used to store and protect the various stationery items needed for letter writing, such as paper, envelopes, and sealing wax. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of Victorian letter writing and the role that companies like Advert, Waterlow & Sons played in shaping this essential form of communication. The presses, with their timeless design and elegant craftsmanship, continue to captivate us today, serving as a reminder of the importance of the written word and the beauty of the objects that facilitated its creation.
