Not listed here are presses outside the accessioned collections, such as two Vandercook proof presses (a Model 4T and a Universal III) that are now earning an honest living in the office printing shop. At some future time, no doubt, they too will be retired into the collections. The Division of Graphic Arts was established in 1886 as a special kind of print collection with the purpose of representing “art as an industry.” For many years collecting was centered around prints, together with the plates and tools that made them. Not until the middle of the twentieth century did the Division begin to collect printing presses systematically. Even more recently, the scope of collecting has been broadened to include printing type and type-making apparatus.

The speed and efficiency of printing was greatly improved through mechanization. This took several forms including: replacing wooden parts with metal ones, cylindrical printing, and stereotyping. The innovations of printing during the 19th century affected the way images were reproduced for illustrations as well as for type. These innovations were so influential on society because they greatly increased the ability to produce large quantities of work quickly. This was very significant for printers of newspapers, who were limited by the amount their press could produce in a short amount of time. Iron Printing Press One major step in improving the printing press was changing the parts from wood to metal.

It uses a large printing press with a series of printing plates that transfer cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) ink onto large sheets of paper called “parent sheets”. These parent sheets are then cut, folded, and bound to form a final printed product. Because of the complex machinery involved, offset printing does require a higher setup cost than digital printing.

  • Lahor and Technology in the Book Trades
    The Quest for Autonomy and Discipline: Lahor and Technology in the Book Trades WILLIAM S. PRETZER JLHERE IS MUCH to be learned about the history of labor and technology in the book trades. There is also much to be learned/rom the history of labor and technology in the book trades. Understanding the production of printed goods and their components will not only help us understand the changing nature of demand, distribution, circulation, and impact of print, but these investigations will also increase our knowledge of general aspects of the American Industrial Revolution. Indeed, the history of the book trades should be seen as part of the larger history of American labor and technology. Much of this larger history is composed of the evolving character of conflict and conciliation in the workplace. And while the role of the plebeian classes as participants in the cul- ture of the printed word is a topic well worth exploring, the focus here is on the role of the producers of printed culture. Continuing through the third quarter of the nineteenth century, two themes stand out in this history. First is the quest for autonomy pursued by master artisans and capitalist employers in terms of their control over raw materials, product markets. This is a revised version of a paper presented at a needs-and-opportunities conference on the history of the book in American culture held at the American Antiquarian Society, November 1-3, 1984. I am grateful to Rollo G. Silver and Steven Rosswurm for their comments and to Kevin S. Baldwin for his research assistance.
