This press was used by Jose Pedro Diaz and Amanda Berenguer, who
founded La Galatea in 1944 to publish poets such as Ida Vitale
and Jules Supervielle.
It is now owned by Biblioteca Nacional in Montevideo, Uruguay.
In the fall of 2021, the library engaged Caja Baja to restore the press to working order. As of February 2022, the work was ongoing.
