Linotype – The 8th Wonder of the World

Linotype: The Film is a feature-length documentary centered around the Linotype type casting machine. Called the “Eighth Wonder of the World” by Thomas Edison, it revolutionized printing and society. The film tells the surprisingly emotional story of the people connected to the Linotype and how it impacted the world.

It premieres in New York next week, where you will also receive a lead slug with your name, straight from an original, working Linotype press.

As and when new posts go up we’ll be sure to link back to them here.
