EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London, where technological marvels were showcased. The image features a patent vertical printing machine, specifically an Applegath printing machine belonging to The Illustrated London News. This remarkable piece of machinery was at the forefront of industrial innovation during that time. Set against the backdrop of the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, this photograph captures a moment within the bustling interior of the exhibition. A male printer is seen operating the impressive apparatus with precision and expertise. His occupation as a printworker required skillful manipulation of this cutting-edge technology. The grandeur of Westminster's architectural landmarks can be glimpsed through one of the palace's windows, reminding us that this event took place in England's vibrant capital city. People from all walks of life flocked to witness these advancements firsthand, making it not only an exhibit but also a testament to human ingenuity. As we admire this monochrome engraving from 1851, we are transported back in time to an era when progress was measured by innovative machines like this vertical printing press. It serves as a reminder that even then, technology played a pivotal role in shaping our world and continues to do so today.
