The Typographical Association

"The Typographical Association: A Fifty Years' Record, 1849-1899" chronicles the history of the Typographical Association, a significant trade union in the British printing industry. This comprehensive record, compiled by Henry Slatter, details the association's formation, growth, and activities over half a century. The book offers insights into the labor conditions, disputes, and negotiations that shaped the printing trade during the late 19th century.

It is an invaluable resource for researchers interested in labor history, the development of trade unions, and the social and economic conditions of workers in the printing industry. The text provides a detailed account of the association's efforts to improve wages, working conditions, and the overall welfare of its members. This historical record illuminates the challenges and triumphs of organized labor in a rapidly industrializing society.
