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.)

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).

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).
