A rather good picture of a printing press with a closed tympan and the press stone under the press.

 



 


 

 

 

 

 


An arm is sticking out of a cloud to operate the press. This kind of celestial working was a feature of the emblembooks of the age. Interesting in this picture is the leather strip on the head in which small utensils are kept with which the printer could adjust and correct the type.

 



 


 

 

 

 

 


A spidery printing press shows the type of 2 folio sized pages and the printed paper in the tympan.
