We recently celebrated 50 years of teaching in our Historical Printing Room! Students from former classes returned to the UL to thank Nick Smith for his key role since the very first class in 1974. Everyone enjoyed seeing some of the pamphlets produced over the years!

This time next week the Press will be exhibiting at @firstslondon at Stand J88! This year Firsts - “the UK’s most prestigious rare book fair” - is focusing on the Art of the Book, so I couldn’t be more excited to show contemporary handmade illustrated letterpress printed books.
