The quality of print and variety of typefaces in this newspaper are remarkable, especially considering the many different sizes used. This issue highlights the new ultra-high-speed rotary press, capable of producing 320,000 neatly folded sheets per hour—a revolutionary achievement for 1923. On the backside, beautifully printed photographs from around the world demonstrate an equally impressive technical accomplishment, showcasing both the reach and sophistication of printing at the time.
