'The Printer's Workshop', 1568. In the background compositors are sitting at the type cases setting up the text. In the foreground a printed sheet is being picked up to be placed on the pile, while the metal type is being inked ready for the next printing. In a screw press such as that shown, each sheet had to be laid on the type, moved into the press and pressure applied using the screw. From Panoplia by Hartmann Schopper. (Frankfurt-am-Main, 1568).
