A sad sight to an ex hot metal man. The ‘eighth wonder of the world’ rusting away.
Old keyboard
The memories came flashing back as I placed my hands over the old keyboard.
Quadder closeup
The marvel of the hot metal machines – the quadder.
Old press
An old W&J Figgins, London press which produced work for Gisborne’s Te Rau Press.
