点评:Located on the Main Street do the little town of Innerleithen, this letterpress printing works is fascinating to visit and take a guided tour. The introduction to the tour described how the National Trust for Scotland acquired the print works in the 1970s and we were shown examples of the items printed since 1866 to 1986 which included newspapers, invitations, business cards, posters and all sorts of other items. Every item printed by the works was recorded in scrap books so a complete history of the business was kept. We then went to the letterpress studio where the work of the letterpress printers was described and we were able to make our own bookmarks using the letters which were originally used by the typesetters, before going to the machinery department to see the Victorian and early 20th century machines in action.
The guides were enthusiastic and engaging and answered all questions thrown at them. The shop contained birthday and event cards printed in the works for sale.
翻译:这家凸版印刷厂坐落于因纳莱森小镇的主街上,非常值得参观,还能参加导览 tour。导览介绍中提到,苏格兰国家信托基金会在20世纪70年代收购了这家印刷厂;随后我们观赏了从1866年至1986年间印刷的各种物品样本,其中包括报纸、请柬、名片、海报以及其他各类印刷品。该印刷厂生产的每一件产品都被记录在剪贴簿中,从而留下了企业的完整历史记录。随后我们前往凸版印刷工作室,那里介绍了凸版印刷师们的工作流程;我们还能用排字工人原本使用过的印刷字模来制作自己的书签。最后,我们又前往机械部门,观看了维多利亚时期及20世纪初的印刷机械实际运作的情况。导游们热情洋溢且富有亲和力,妥善回答了所有提问。店里陈列着正在制作中、可供购买的生日卡和各种节日贺卡。
