EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of historical printing processes, specifically focusing on the operations of roughing and eggshelling. Taken in 1916, the image showcases the meticulous workings of these machines that were once integral to the production of high-quality printed materials. Roughing and eggshelling were essential post-printing processes that ensured the sheets of paper were prepared for further finishing stages. In the roughing machine, the paper was passed through rollers with raised patterns that created a textured surface, enhancing the ink's adherence and improving the overall appearance of the print. Following the roughing process, the sheets underwent eggshelling in the eggshelling machine. This operation involved passing the sheets through a series of rollers with tiny protrusions, creating a subtle, porous texture reminiscent of an eggshell. This texture further improved the ink's absorption into the paper, ensuring a consistent and high-quality final product. The intricacies of these processes can be observed in the photograph, with the machinery's complex mechanisms and the delicate sheets of paper in various stages of transformation. The dedication and craftsmanship required to operate these machines are evident, as each sheet was handled with care to ensure the best possible outcome. As we marvel at this historical photograph, we are reminded of the rich history of communication and the intricate processes that once brought printed materials to life. The roughing and eggshelling operations, while seemingly mundane, played a crucial role in the production of books, newspapers, and other printed materials that have shaped our world. This image is a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of those who worked in the printing industry, paving the way for the advancements we enjoy today.
