Shire of Ripon, 1953. The local newspaper office at Beaufort prints the Shire's annual reports and statements. In the case of the financial details, it was probably a matter of inserting new figures in the previous year's tabulation. The headings and rules may have had little change over the years. Who knows when this setting was first composed?
The Museum acquired this and other typesettings, blocks, founts and documents when the said printer retired.
The typesetting, locked in its chase, is photographed on the bed of the Museum's Albion press, as if ready to be printed.
