Old printing techniques die, when there's no demand for it anymore.
But in a city this big, small things can survive.
Survival of the fittest is different for objects then for animals.
The card for this event is being printed at Soho lettrepress. A super messy, very nice, but quiet printing house. Quiet becauce It's all hand press, so no noise.
Crazy to see 25 of these machines that no one uses any more, in full action. (Well maybe in Africa or india). Makes a really nice exclusive looking job. That's why they have this upscale clients like; Sotheby's, Christies, Michael Werner Gallery, Prada, etc!
But for us, Anna the boss, made a very, very nice price.

How did the world looked like before image-google?
Things, where named.
With words.

words!..languages!..confusion!..ChAOS!

Except in a corner of the 3th floor of the New York Public Library at Bryant Park. In this little corner you will find the picture gallery. Real cardboard files with real paper images. Every image cut out from books, magazines, advertising and nicely put into categories.
I love this place very much. Every time I go there I am so scared they've closed it. But there's always people there at the big table surrounded with image-files.

this is the file "manholes"
