EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph by Heinz Zinram, we witness the intricate process of lifting a proof from a large forme at the Lund Humphries Printing Works. The scene unfolds in a bustling printing laboratory, where the air is thick with the scent of ink and the hum of machinery. The printer, dressed in a long white coat, carefully lifts the delicate proof from the large, flat forme using precision machinery. The forme, a large, complex piece of printing equipment, is covered in raised type, each letter meticulously inked and pressed onto the paper below. The scene is a testament to the rich history of the printing industry, where complex machines and human expertise come together to produce pages of text and imagery. The machinery, with its gears, levers, and intricate mechanisms, is a marvel of engineering, its purpose to transfer the ink from the forme to the paper with the utmost precision. The lifting of the proof marks an important step in the printing process, as it allows the printer to inspect the quality of the print and make any necessary adjustments before the final run. The proof, a small, white page, is held up against the light, revealing every detail of the text and imagery. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of printing, a trade that has been an essential part of human history for centuries. It is a reminder of the complex processes and dedication required to produce high-quality printed materials, and a celebration of the beauty and intricacy of the printing industry.
