Composing Room in a Print Shop


A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of at work.
A real photo postcard showing three fellows standing around the type cases in the composing room of a print shop. The upper cases typically contained capital letters, and the lower cases contained small letters, leading to the terminology we still use today to refer to letter case.

Interesting about the upper/lower case terminology.
We have a lot of printers in my family tree, all working in London. My uncle, his father, my grandfather's uncle and other great uncles.
Printers - and blacksmiths! We have a lot of those too.
