In 19th century English, the expression ‘Come, come, that’s Barnard Castle!’ was used as a response to someone who had offered a flawed excuse for their actions.
(fr. English Proverbs & Proverbial Phrases: A Historical Dictionary, 1929)

New display 'Typographical objects & printed ephemera', curated by Robert Hetherington, with material from @CamberwellUAL Letterpress Workshop and our Archives, documenting a rich history of printing, typography and graphic design. Until 7 March.
Two lovely films found in the @CamberwellUAL library (@UAL_Archives) on ‘The Camberwell Press’ and ‘The Monotype Caster: a record of the craft’, both circa 1985.
Great to see the workshop as it was 35-years ago.
(Pictured are Cyril Parratt, Michael Gullick, and Ian Primarolo.)

Workshop experimentation with 2nd year Graphic Design students @CamberwellUAL — a specimen (of sorts) showing fonts produced as part of their type design project. Laser-cut Perspex, printed Letterpress.
Describing (verbally and visually) objects found within the David Usborne collection — the combined results of three Letterpress inductions with Ma Graphic Design students at Camberwell.

We've seen some weird endpapers in our day but this may take the cake! Block printed endpapers on a copy of Untersuchungen über die Französische Revolution ... Hanover, 1793. #weloveendpapers #blockprinted #unexpectedfinds

Nuts & Muttons - a specimen book documenting (in playful use) the 76 faces that make up the collection of lead type held @rca. The result of a project which ran over two academic years, including the work of 17 @RCAvisualcomm students (with support from Ian Gabb and myself).

DISTRIBUTED - publishing symposium about the act of distribution across the spectrum of cultural production. Hosted by @RCAvisualcomm at the Royal College of Art. Speakers and details here bit.ly/2GPdN6U
Last used in the production of ‘Jury’ magazine—‘Film and theatre reviews collected from 19 national newspapers’ (1966)—and stored under the stairs ever since...
Lead type seems to turn up in the most unexpected places. Excited to acquire 5 cases from my grannies next door neighbour—including full cases of 12pt Bembo (Reg and Italic) and 12pt Univers (Reg and Bold).
