i picked up my quote from this book and it was written by eric gill. After i read the book my deepening of the conflict between industrialisation and the ancient methods of handicrafts my research got even more stronger and i picked up the quote " There are two types of typographies as there are two worlds and apart from god or profits the test of one is mechanical and the other sanctity".

These are the rough sketches for letterpress...

two proposed layouts

These were the two final layouts i took with me to the printers..... but got a little altered at the press due to the unavailability of resources.

block

This was just after the typesetting and making the block ready to put inside the press....

Final...

The experience of using the letterpress and typesetting by hand was a fun and learning experience. The understanding of kerning and leading became much stronger. This was the final output of one hard day at the letterpress.
