EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the bustling atmosphere of Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, London in 1930, this photograph showcases a group of dedicated Linotype students engrossed in their work. The Linotype machine, once an integral part of newspaper printing, is depicted here as these young men skillfully manipulate its intricate mechanisms to produce lines of type on metal strips. Located on Peckham Road, this renowned institution provided a nurturing environment for aspiring artists and craftsmen during the early 20th century. Under the guidance of experienced instructors from the Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council Photograph Library, these students honed their craft with dedication and precision. The image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects the importance placed on education by both individuals and local councils. It serves as a testament to the value society attributed to professions such as typesetting during that era.
