In Mainz Joseph Scholz Publishes an Outstanding Image of a Printing and Typefounding Shop

Perhaps the most interesting genre scene of a small printing office published in the mid-19th century is the hand-colored lithograph published by the Joseph Scholz firm of Mainz and distributed in the U.S. by Eggers & Co. of Cincinnati. In a charming style the print clearly depicts the various processes of typesetting and printing on an iron hand press of the Stanhope type, together with the type founding process in the room next door.
