Philadelphia

June 1852

These are the R. Hoe & Co. factory buildings on Broom Street, New York City, in 1852. The illustrations in Graham’s Magazine’s article on Robert Hoe’s factory are probably the best ones of a printing machine factory in the mid-nineteenth century. Most notably they show the construction of one of Hoe’s huge type-revolving printing machines—the fastest printing machines available at the time.
