Arab Drawing from the 1940s
Printing presses — more properly known as ‘printing machines’ in the UK — come in a myriad of shapes and sizes, from the tiny Adana HS1 (printing around 3″ x 2″) to the massive Wharfedale machines designed to print posters and newspapers.
John Southward’s Practical Printing offers five different ways of classifying presses, but here they are all dropped in to one of four categories — small presses; iron hand presses; platen presses; and cylinder presses.
