The Print Shop and Bindery in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia

The print shop and bindery was the source of printed materials in colonial times, and was a necessity, just as it is now. Books, pamphlets, sale notices and other printed matters affected society and commerce each day. Behind the printer, you can see the large press.

  5. A great deal of work to print anything. Do the folks working there mind having their photos taken?
