Date
December 1876
Description
In this portrait, the son of Robert Hoe, Richard March Hoe, is styled “Colonel” from his service in the U.S. National Guard. The sheet also includes a picture of Hoe’s Web Printing Machine in operation at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. The states that Hoe’s machine could print fifteen thousand copies, on both sides, per hour of an eight- or four-page newspaper. Lifting the extremely heavy rolls of paper to the height evidently required by this press design, as shown in the image, would have required a special mechanism.
