This image of The New York Daily Times printing office published as a full-page woodcut in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper on March 12, 1859 is one of the most interesting and impressive images of a mid-19th century newspaper printing office in operation. All of the huge rotary presses were manually sheet fed by boys sitting at various locations around the cylinders.

On September 18, 1851 journalist and politician Henry Jarvis Raymond and former banker George Jones founded The New-York Daily Times. The newspaper changed its name to The New York Times in 1857.
