Lightboxes & Lettering

Lightboxes & Lettering, an exhibition by Rendezvous Projects, tells the story of the print industry across the 20th century, focusing on the east London boroughs of Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest. The exhibition includes historic photographs and printed items as well as print workers’ memories, told through a new collection of oral histories.

This poster maps out all of the locations of the printers and on the reverse, a list off all the names with infographic elements for the company size and the services they offer.

The foldout leaflet describes a workshop carried out as part of the exhibition and its research.
