Filature EDP

[bartje]

Here some pictures of the abandoned spinning mill Filature EDP.
It was used to stock printing machines and materials for a printing museum.
But... nothing was used and now its all rusting away.
Time to shoot some pics!

Just had another look...sans wine imbibing, lol...and they look like little parcels wrapped in brown paper with the pic stuck on the front. Whatever they are, they're adorable.

Actually, I think they are printing blocks...the old letterpress kind...and they've been wrapped up for storage with a print from each block to show what's on them.
