This print showcases the intricate world of proof-readers marks, a vital aspect of the publishing industry in the early 20th century. The image captures an illustration created for The Harmsworth Encylopaedia around 1922, providing us with a glimpse into the meticulous process of editing and refining written works. The composition is filled with an array of symbols and annotations that were used by proof-readers to correct errors, improve clarity, and ensure accuracy in printed materials. Each mark represents a specific instruction or suggestion, revealing the dedication and expertise required to perfect every word on the page.
