Additional Description

General

A printing press in the open air at the top of steps, surrounded by trees, mountains, and buildings. Printers, newsboys, man reading, women talking. "Northern winds stirring Tribune trees in the Canadian wilderness ... Tribune ships throbbing under the burden of Tribune pulp wood bound for Tribune paper mills ... the roar of trains carrying Tribune newsprint to Tribune Tower, where batteries of presses whir through the night, spinning the news of the world"
