Edward Farnell (1915-1998)

Edward operating a Model 8 Linotype in June 1988, towards the end of the hot type days at Cosco Printing in North Carolina (US).

The photos were supplied by Bob Scurry, who describes Edward as his oldest friend and mentor. Edward set type for the better part of 70 years!
