"One of this company's most outstanding qualities," wrote the typography section rapporteur at the 1900 Universal Exhibition, where Établissements Marinoni exhibited five different rotary presses, "is that it immediately meets all its customers' practical whims.

It does not stick to existing systems and models but creates tools that meet the needs of the moment." This rotary press with a folding apparatus proves the point.

It was purpose-built for the Conservatory's graphic arts gallery and given by Hippolyte Marinoni in 1886; the Ministry of Commerce and Industry thanked him with a gift of Sèvres porcelain.

The press's estimated value was 32,000 francs. Jules Michaud, Marinoni's son-in-law, offered to show the Conservatory's staff how it worked.
