Printing House of the Early 20th Century (Rahmi M. Koç Museum, Istanbul)

The DC-3 aircraft is installed above a wooden airfield pavilion, the distant ancestor of huge modern terminals made of glass, concrete and steel.

This reconstruction of the first building of Istanbul's Yeşilköy airport (now named after Ataturk)where passenger service was provided by Air France , the first foreign airline to open a regular line to Istanbul.

Now the pavilion has nothing in common with the aviaviatsia - a typical printing house of the 20s of the last century is located here..

Many believe that the printing house is a huge building filled with gigantic machines - for millions of copies, it is true, but all sorts of small things can be printed in a small room.

Polygraphy begins with a typeset cash register - lines of text were made up of metal letters with reliefs of letters of the alphabet and other symbols.

Клише, с помощью которых печатались картинки, фотографии или заголовки с нестандартным шрифтом изготовлялись гравировкой или фотохимическим способом.

Доска с набранным и сверстанным шрифтом - матрица, вставляется в печатную машину.

Матрица смазывается типографской краской, затем по ней прокатывается лист бумаги.

Обрезной станок - гильотина. Здесь пачки отпечатанных листов обрезались до нужного размера.

Samples of printing products - all kinds of letterheads, brochures, advertising posters. As you can see - even then a small printing house had the ability to work with color.
