I watched it in the early 90s, there is only one scene that I remember and was
fascinated by. A young boy was working at a printing press, picking out
individual metal stamps and filling up a tray to prepare for each page to be
printed.

For a better understanding of what I mean, it is also known as "movable type"
or in Japanese "活版印刷機".

Thank you very much in advance!

Help identifying an OLD anime - a scene where a kid is in a printing press picking metal block letters?


[Night on the Galactic
Railroad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_on_the_Galactic_Railroad#Animated_film)
is a classic Japanese novel from the 1920s that got an anime adaption in 1985
which has such a scene:

The only thing that makes me doubt whether it's correct is that the
protagonist is in fact a cat (as are all other characters).
