Description	A man holding an infant is looking at an old iron printing press in what appears to be the interior of a barn. He is wearing a shirt and slacks. The baby is wearing a striped jacket and a cap. A second small child in plaid pants stands nearby. A sign on the press reads "Washington Printing Press / Presented by Samuel Rust / of New York City about the year 1800 / This press was used in the early 19th century / to print the Danbury Times. It was acquired by James Montgomery Bailey (the Danbury News man) and / Timothy Donovan when they founded in 1865 the / Danbury News--Now the DANBURY NEWS-TIMES." A large figure of a toy soldier and a smaller figure of a zebra are nearby.
Notes	The Danbury Fair was an annual exhibition held in Danbury between 1821 and 1981. At first a traditional agricultural fair, the event later included large fiberglass sculptures, stock car racing, and amusement park rides. The former fairground is now (2011) the site of the Danbury Fair Mall.
