Drawing of the interior of the printing house at Strawberry Hill. Two rooms are visible; the room on the left, which occupies most of the drawing, is lined with windows on the back and left walls and has a fireplace on the right wall. A man stands at a composing frame at the back of the room setting type from the copy propped on the upper case; lower tables line the walls in front of the windows at left, and other furniture occupies the back right corner of the room. In the foreground the doorway on the right gives a partial view of the second room containing two printing presses. A man can be seen working the common press for printing the letterpress text; to the left are two of the handles of the star-wheel of a rolling press for printing intaglio plates (copper plates); above, sheets of printed paper have been hung to dry on lines strung across the room. The floors and ceilings of both rooms are plain and undecorated; a few framed pictures hang on the walls
