The Printing Press is Your Friend Found Via Keegan Wenkman at Serial Machinist, from Kyle Van Horn’s collection.
The back of it is labeled Feb. 4, 1870, but the printing is older than that. Here’s the hi-res original: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kvh/4400826157/sizes/l/
![[image of a campbell newspaper letterpress machine] THE PRESS: The printing press is one of the best friends we have. By its use, we are in easy possession of a great deal of useful knowledge, that we could not otherwise obtain without great labor and expense. It makes good books and newspapers so numerous and cheap, that every body who wishes can have them. Have you ever seen a printing press? If you never have, ask your parents to please take you to a printing office to see one. It is a very curious machine.](https://www.bureauofbetterment.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/the-printing-press-is-our-friend.jpg "the-printing-press-is-our-friend")
