In this exceptionally elegant historiated title page for a printer's specimen volume the artist has depicted the Rand & Avery building above which we see the typesetter, an Adams Power Press operated by a woman, an iron hand press, and other elements of the printing trade. Featuring a woman operating a printing machine would have been an unusual feature of a printers' specimen at the time. The depiction of the Adams Power Press appears to be a standard image, probably produced by the press manufacturer for advertising. Note the very similar rendition of the press, also operated by a woman in Jacob Abbot's book on The Harper Establishment (1855).
