Rotation press, late 19th c.

One for fans of Dutch book and printing history: On behalf of the KB National Library of the Netherlands, I recently added nearly 1,000 images related to Dutch book history to Wikimedia Commons:

Beeldbank Nederlandse Boekgeschiedenis (Image Bank Dutch Book History).

A very diverse collection of images. If you're interested in this topic, you could do the following tasks with the images:

• add images to relevant Wikipedia articles
• classify images into other relevant Commons categories
• add images to relevant Wikidata items (P18)
• add Depicts statements (P180) to the structured data of the images
• etc.

Many thanks in advance!
