A long time ago, in a printing shop far, far away…..

For #FotoVorschlag, “Heavy Metal” (and a late entry for “Zeitreise” / time travel)

A scene in a vintage printing shop in Pennsylvania. A metal slab holding plates of movable type is viewed from an angle, so that the rows of reversed letters recede from camera like the opening scroll in the Star Wars films. In the background, a sign that reads “ULICHNEY PRINTING” leans against a wooden desk with a slanted surface.

not my actual work, I made the things before the printing, but I have been helping out when there was a lot to do, especially enjoyed the old heidelberg press where you had to built those frames as in your image, by hand.

@ambivalena I would have loved to see those machines operating! That must have been so fun.

It was really fun, and nice. The sounds reminded a bit about old fishing boat motors 😍
