Posting this here as a visual reference. The art supply store near me has a large section of etching supplies and many colors of etching ink and rollers and such. I think I will try to engrave some copper or zinc plates now that I have access to a press, and have learned the basics of printmaking via the linocuts. An update on the assemblage of the printing press: The press is not at my place yet but the lettertype is en route. I told a friend about the project and it turns out she has an old printer's tray that she bought five years ago at a yardsard, and she was planning to use it in some craft project but never got around to it and decided to give it to me instead. Should be useful for keeping the letters separate, I'm not sure what I would have done otherwise

finally got around to mounting my spectral sailor it took a bit of figuring to find the right place, since below the trumps was too low to look at, and above was improper, but eventually i settled on the door when the door is closed, i can enjoy his shimmering rainbow colors and ponder his strange diplopic message when the door is open, he faces the disintegration trumps and tells them the bad news: he cannot save them, for there is only one permanent thing, and all else must fade and pass away

Still waiting for the typeface This press is, if I had to guess, at least 200 years old. But knowing where it came from I wouldn't be surprised if it was 300 years old. It is about 5 times heavier than it looks, it was pretty difficult to drag it back here. I took a picture of it on the floor because I am not sure my lovely ikea desk can actually support it. I'm going to enjoy literally cranking out c-spam propaganda on such an ancient and beautiful piece of machinery.

Here are some interesting details about the history of printing. Please note that I do not say this out of nationalistic fervor, which I do not have, but because I want to explain what this object is and how it ended up in my possession. The printing press was invented in 1439 by Johannes Gutenburg, in Germany, and it was quickly used to print a version of the bible not in Latin, but in German, which was pretty revolutionary at the time. In 1519, Martin Luther started the protestant reformation, and the protestants made great use of the printing press to create pamphlets that were circulated throughout Europe. This led to the Protestant Reformation and several wars, which, according to Voltaire, were responsible for the deaths of more than 9 million people (keep in mind that the population of Europe was much smaller back then). In most countries, the printing press was rightly feared as a powerfully destructive weapon capable of quickly spreading radical and dangerous ideas and turning society on its head, so strict controls were placed on its use. That is, in most countries strict controls were placed on its use, and in most European countries, strict systems of censorship were enacted. Owning a printing press was forbidden in most parts of Europe in the 17th century, and the ones that did exist were massive and complex affairs that involved teams of people to operate, and what they were printing was closely monitored by religious and/or political authorities. One exception to this rule was the Dutch Republic. The Dutch, being protestant, were great fans of the printing press, because the Protestant Reformation shaped their culture and ultimately played a great role in them gaining their independence from Catholic Spain. Quite unique for the time, rather than establishing their own monarchy, they set up a republican system of government. In practice it was pretty much a capitalist oligarchy, and one could argue that form of government emerged to be the predominant model of governance in the west in the post-medieval era, and still is today. Being protestant and republican, the system of government in the Dutch Republic was remarkably different from most of Europe, which manifested itself in many ways. One of these was a relative freedom of the press. Having no monarch to insult reduced a lot of the pressure for censorship. Many European writers and philosophers, including the above-mentioned Voltaire, fled to the Netherlands in the 17th century because it was one of the only places in western society were they were allowed to publish their ideas without being persecuted by authorities. Freedom of the press enabled a massive exchange of ideas in the 17th century Dutch Republic, and quickly enabled massive developments in various fields of science, philosophy, theology, etc. These developments, coupled with a powerhouse economy fueled by advanced knowledge of seafaring and systematic colonial exploitation, led to the Dutch Republic becoming a global superpower. Printing played an essential role in the developments of all these fields, and the number of Dutch printers at this time was tremendous in comparison to other countries. Because the printing industry was uncensored and unregulated, uniquely smaller types of printing presses were developed. Whereas in other countries being a printer meant being involved in a complex hierarchy of authorities and censors, in the Dutch Republic printing was often something that people would do as a side gig in their free time, making small runs of pamphlets that were distributed within specific communities. Of course there were large-scale printing presses that involved entire teams of people, that mass-produced books and newspapers. But there also emerged a cottage industry based around tiny printing presses which could be operated by a single person, and this was the result of decades of social change which allowed this to be possible. In 1672 the Dutch Republic was simultaneously invaded by England, France, and some parts of Germany. At the same time there was a civil war in the country between monarchists and republicans. As a result the leader of the Republic was hanged, skinned, and cannibalized by a rioting monarchist mob. The Golden Age was over, the economy was destroyed, and the country wouldn't recover for centuries. Although cities like Amsterdam remained cultural centers for some time, it was never again on the scale of the earlier years of the Golden Age. I don't know how old this printing press is, but I got it from a Dutch family in a large city who inherited it and had it lying around for so many decades (or even centuries) that nobody knows any longer where it came from, how old it is, or how to use it. It was just decorating a bookshelf somewhere. Even though the base is made of extremely dense hard wood (probably sourced from Indonesia or Suriname), and has been eaten through by worms over the centuries, it is still a functioning printing press. I have no idea how old it is. After evaluating it, I could easy believe it is from the 17th century, when this industry of small-scale printing was blooming. After the destruction of the economy in 1672, there weren't many people who would have had the economic freedom to print things in their spare time, and printing was largely taken over by professional large-scale printers. If it is from the golden age, it would be about 350 years old, at least. In any case, it is now in my possession, and I intend to use it to print parts of the book of c-spam, to make pamphlets, and held spread the radical and new ideas and modes of thought which have come out of this humble sub-forum. This machine was built specifically for the purpose of some solitary weirdo to operate it and thereby spread weird new ideas, and thus (hopefully) better society. On the title page, underneath "Plinkey, Hot Karl Marx, HugeGrossBurrito & Co., printers” I will print the words "Printed in Amsterdam." That's where I am, this is what I am doing, and now you know what ancient tradition this work will be a part of. And I also hope that after reading this you have a greater appreciation of the meaning of the words "Freedom of the Press." ( they don't teach you in school, but a lot of the republican ideas of the founding fathers were based on the Dutch Republic, which still existed at that time and played a major role in funding the American Revolution, and even the Declaration of Independence was not only printed on Dutch paper but also modeled after the Dutch declaration of independence from Spain *sniff* and so on)

My favorite printing press historical figure is Francysk Skaryna. He was from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in what is now modern-day Belarus. He saw the printing press in Prague while studying medicine. He forgot about medical school, bought a printing press, and started printing books. His first book was a psalter published in Old Belarusian in 1517. In 1520 he moved his printing operation to Vilnius where he set up shop and printed books there. About 8 or 9 years later he moved to Moscow and tried to print books there, but the Russians declared him printing the Bible in Russian a heresy and he had to flee before he was murdered. There's a statue of Skaryna outside the brutalist national library in Minsk. And here's a portrait of him.
