This is a study of international print networks developed across
the English-speaking world over a significant part of the long
nineteenth century. The first study of its kind, it draws on unique
sources from Australasia, North America, South Africa, the British
Isles, and Ireland, to explore how printers interacted and shared
trade and cultural identities across international boundaries
during the period 1830-1914. Morality, mobility, mobilisation, and
solidarity were central to how compositors and print trade workers
defined themselves during this period. These themes are addressed
in case studies on roving printers, striking printers, and creative
printers. The case studies explore the cultural values and trade
skills transmitted and embedded by such actors, the global networks
that enabled print workers to travel across continents in search of
work and experience, the trade actions reliant on mobilization and
information-sharing across the printing world, and the creative
ideas that printers shared through such means as memoirs, poetry,
prose, and trade news contributions to print trade journals and
other public outlets.
