EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in the newspaper industry during the 1950s. Taken by artist Michael Walters, it showcases the art of typesetting at the South Yorkshire Times in Mexborough, South Yorkshire. In this bustling scene, we see dedicated typesetters meticulously composing pages for publication. The image reveals an intricate process where wooden or metal blocks called furniture were skillfully used to wedge the type against the chase. This allowed for easy transportation to the printing press once completed. At the center of this busy workspace stands Dick Ridyard, who served as sub-editor at that time. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era when newspapers were crafted with precision and care. The industrial setting exudes a sense of purpose and dedication as workers diligently carry out their tasks amidst stacks of papers and typographical equipment. Walters' monochrome composition beautifully captures both the physicality and concentration required in this profession. It serves as a reminder of how far technology has advanced within media industries since then. This print is not only a testament to British craftsmanship but also an homage to those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to bring news stories to life. With its historical significance and artistic merit, it provides viewers with an opportunity to appreciate both our past heritage and technological progress in journalism today.
