The text on the head states: \u201cThe Common Press. \u201cNewspapers and news magazines provide a first rough draft of a history that will never be completed about a world we can never really understand.\u201d Philip L. Graham. Publisher, The Washington Post. 1916 \u2013 1963.<\/p>\n

This is a three-quarter scale replica of the Common Press at the Smithsonian Institution, circa 1725. The press in use for 350 years is the kind used by Benjamin Franklin and other colonial printers.
