English transcription: By 1953, the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) had allocated nearly $8,500,000 to rebuild South Korea's educational system. This year, if enough funds are forthcoming, the Agency plans to spend another $2,675,000 for the same purpose. Some 300,000 textbooks have been bought for the drive against illiteracy. More than 3,000 tons of paper have been imported to print 38,000,000 textbooks. The Government of Korea and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) worked with UNKRA on a textbook printing plant near Seoul. This plant, which is now completed, will open on 16 September. It is expected that the plant will turn out 15,000,000 textbooks by the end of the year. Here is a view of the composing room, showing three photo composing machines. All the printing equipment is the most modern that could be procured and is (...) the equal of up-to-date plants in Europe and in America.

Description: Seen from behind, a number of men are sitting at desks with machines. They are all wearing white tee-shirts and look young.

French transcription: La nouvelle imprimerie de livres de classe de la Corée. A la fin de 1953, l'Agence des Nations Unies pour le relèvement de la Corée avait contribué près de 8,500,000 dollars à la réorganisation du système scolaire de la République de Corée; elle contribuera encore cette année 2,875,000 dollars - si les fonds sont disponibles. Environ 300,000 livres de classe ont été achetés, et les 3.000 tonnes de papier qui ont été importées permettront d'imprimer 38 millions de manuels. L'Agence des Nations Unies pour le relèvement de la Corée et l'UNESCO ont collaboré avec le gouvernement coréen à l'érection d'une nouvelle imprimerie de livres de classe près de Séoul. Cette imprimerie, qui est maintenant achevée, sera inaugurée le 16 septembre. Quinze millions de manuels y auront été imprimés d'ici la fin de l'année. On voit ici l'une des presses qui ont été récemment installées. Cette presse peut imprimer en une heure de quinze à vingt mille copies de soixante-quatre pages de texte.
Description: The photo shows a large printing machine and at least seven men working on it.
