Just got home from a screening of Linotype: The Film, directed by Doug Wilson. What a fascinating history: the machine revolutionized the printing industry - newspapers, magazines, books - and within a hundred years of its invention, was made obsolete.
It’s a charming film - I encourage you to see it if possible.
