THE OLD SCHOOL PRESSA photograph from Harry Carter, Typographer. | |
Carter went up to Queen's College, Oxford in 1919 to read Modern History. This photograph, taken in 1922, shows him amongst fellow members of the Pater Society, a literary society that met to hear and discuss papers. After Oxford, he went to Lincoln’s Inn where he was articled to a solicitor. It was during the short time he worked as a barrister that he developed a passion for the subject that was to be his life's work: printing and its history. |
