- City of Birmingham School of Printing was a department of the (Birmingham) Central School of Arts and Crafts. In 1971 the School of Arts and Crafts was absorbed into Birmingham Polytechnic and subsequently into Birmingham City University. The Birmingham School of Printing's Margaret Street building is now the university's Department of Fine Art.
"The teacher Leonard Jay (1888-1963) made the Birmingham School of Printing a profound influence on a generation of typographers, and set the pattern for printing education worldwide." (Wikipedia).
Guided by their teachers under Leonard Jay's overall direction, students produced at least 192 books and pamphlets between 1926 and 1953, many of them literary or bibliographical, including for example three editions of the 'Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám'. 'The torch, no. 2' (1938) includes a catalogue containing 106 numbered titles, 1926-1937, eleven numbered booklets, 1926-1932, and twenty one unnumbered supplements, 1929-1937.
