Marinoni: The Leading French Producer of Printing Machines

To promote their printing machines at the Exposition Universelle de 1878 Marinoni published a brochure in which they mentioned that M. Marinoni was awarded La Légion d'Honneur in 1875 pour "notables progrès à l'imprimerie, par les perfectionnements qu'il a introduite dans la construction des machines typographiques."

With the context of carriages pulled by horses, Marinoni had sold 6000 machines, including steam engines and printing machines.
