The instrument embodies the solidity and precision of mechanical engineering applied to the graphic arts of the last century, preserving the charm of old-fashioned printing workshops. The structure, made by f.a.l.c., is entirely of cast iron and metal, featuring a thick central screw operated by a large circular handwheel that allows for uniform pressure on the books. The original industrial green paint and the patina on the supporting columns testify to professional use, making it not only a still functional tool for restoration but also a unique collector's item. This piece of industrial design is ideal for enhancing a vintage bookcase or adding character to a professional studio, celebrating the art of craftsmanship.
