EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of Composing Room, 1919" offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of Leicester Co-operative Printing Society Ltd. 's establishment. The image, sourced from The British Printer Vol. XXXII and published by Raithby, Lawrence & Co. Ltd in London and Leicester in 1919, showcases a bustling scene filled with dedicated workers immersed in their craft. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of men diligently engaged in various tasks within the composing room. Dressed in traditional work attire and donning aprons, these skilled individuals are focused on typesetting and publishing activities that were integral to the printing industry during the early 20th century. The composition exudes an air of professionalism as each man meticulously handles typographical elements while surrounded by shelves stacked with books and equipment essential for their trade. This evocative photograph not only highlights the technical aspects of printing but also provides insight into the organizational structure behind such operations. Beyond its visual appeal, this image serves as a testament to the significance of co-operative movements prevalent at that time.
