Get ready for an exciting up and coming exhibition at Leichhardt Library to celebrate Heritage Festival – Amazing Stories 2011 April 2 – 30

Leichhardt Library in collaboration with  Hill End Press, present the exhibition “ Leichhardt Jubilee Pressed.”

From the barrels of the library archives, the original blocks from the Publication “Jubilee History

of Leichhardt have been dusted and brought to life for their 90th birthday by master print press

artist Bill and Genevieve Moseley of Hill End Press.

In a day and age of digital imagery, speedy reproduction and dissemination of online publication

it is joy to re-visit  the clanking sound of the vintage press, echoing the Industrial revolution.

What lies on these metal printing blocks are multiple amazing stories from an eerie vacant

Norton Street  too municipal pride, boners and cutters, school children cultivating experimental

grasses, sweet sweepers, new schools and churches which stand today, the large smiling assembly

of school children of Leichhardt Public School and more. The blocks also offer us an amazing story

of the changing technologies – from metal  and glass plate reproduction to today’s chip-driven

electronic media.
