When you fondly contemplate an old book, printed before 1900 or so, consider the formation of its words. Every letter will have been picked and set-up by hand, at around 2000 per hour of labour. It was done like this for hundreds of years. We would like to show you how. Maybe you can do it yourself in our Access Studio! |
