EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1968, capturing a moment at the White Rose Press in Mexborough, South Yorkshire. The image showcases an intricate monotype keyboard, which played a crucial role in the printing process during that era. Skilled operators would meticulously press each key, causing a reel of paper to be perforated with unique holes representing every character. The resulting tape was then passed on to the caster, who utilized it to produce movable type for printing purposes. This innovative technology revolutionized the industry by enabling faster and more efficient production of printed materials. The photograph exudes an industrial charm as we observe this historic machine amidst its surroundings within the factory walls. It offers us a glimpse into Britain's rich manufacturing heritage and highlights the importance of companies like White Rose Press in driving technological advancements during this period. Taken by Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this monochrome image beautifully captures both the intricate details of the machinery and the atmosphere inside this bustling printworks facility. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far technology has come since then while appreciating our roots in traditional craftsmanship and innovation.
