I used my sweet little antique press today to carry on printing a little lino block.
Here’s a closer view of the cast iron press, which is probably early Victorian and made in London, by Sampson Mordan & Co. These are often called bookbinding or nipping presses but it’s possibly one of the very first Fax (Facsimile) machines, advertised at the time as a “letter copying press”.
This little block is part of a print I am editioning, designed by Jamie Reid for GS Artists, who are showing an exhibition of his radical art in Swansea at the moment.

I’m working backwards on your posts. The press looks even more gorgeous in this one!
It’s a lovely thing, a beautiful object in its own right
It really is
The old press is just gorgeous, and how wonderful that it’s still in use and producing such lovely prints! The dragon is giving Georgie boy a real trouncing!
hehehe yes she is 😀
Sweet press! What a wonderful project you’re working on. 🙂
Thanks Gale. I’m enjoying it but a lot of responsibility because it’s a commission
