A living heritage from 1906. The 1924 press is still running at full speed. In Vervins, the weekly newspaper Le Démocrate de l’Aisne remains the last newspaper in Europe printed with lead letters. Listed as a historical monument in July 2022, the newspaper is housed in former gendarmerie stables (guaranteed effect) and is not a set.
Every week, the rotary press, the linotypes, the proofing press, and the printing presses are used to produce over 3,000 copies. The typographers, linotypists, and journalists are experts… Just listen to the clatter of the machines. The sound is unique. Even the smell of ink and molten lead comes through on the screen.
