The original Brother's House, known as Bethania, was a beautiful building, but was later destroyed due to neglect. It held the first print shop. |
This is the print office that I visited at the Ephrata Cloisters. |
The Martyr's Mirror on display. |
This is what I believe to be a copy of the Martyr's Mirror. |
The printing press at the Cloisters. Totally hand-operated. |
Here you can see the ink roller ready for action. |
This is the wooden type cabinet with many drawers of metal type housed in their type cases. |
This shows the chase holding the metal type in place, ready for the press. To the left are pieces of wood called furniture that hold the type in place. The wooden wedges are known as quoins. |
I do realize that there is more too see than just the print shop. This is the interior of the Small Bake House. |
This is the Carpenter's House. |
The interior of the weaver's house is seen in this photograph. |
