Dismantled Imperial Press

Description

Cope, Sherwin & Company designed and built the Imperial press in Shoreditch, London, for only a brief period of time. The Imperial was part of a second generation of iron hand presses that followed the Stanhope, and it bears similarities to Albion, Columbian and Washington presses. This Imperial press is dismantled currently.
