EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1818, offering a glimpse into the world of press printing during that era. The image, captured by an unknown artist from the 19th century, showcases the intricate process of press printing with remarkable detail. In this historical scene, we witness a group of dedicated workers engaged in their craft. Their hands move swiftly and skillfully across the printing presses, as they meticulously arrange typefaces and ink rollers to produce newspapers or other printed materials. The atmosphere is bustling with activity, highlighting both the laborious nature of this profession and its vital role in disseminating information. Beyond showcasing technical expertise, this photograph also hints at broader themes such as censorship and freedom of expression prevalent during that period. As we observe closely, members of the National Guard can be seen standing nearby – a reminder that even in those times, press printing was subject to scrutiny and control. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings this momentous snapshot to life once again. Through his lens, we are transported back two centuries ago when press printers played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and spreading knowledge. As we contemplate this image today, let us appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also reflect on how far our society has come since then – where technological advancements have revolutionized communication while preserving our fundamental right to free speech.
