Notes |
- Richard was a Compositor(Typesetter) in London
"Working as a compositor required a combination of attributes: a level of education sufficient to facilitate speedy and accurate composition of type; the manual dexterity to aid this; a knowledge of fonts; and an eye for design, especially before the relatively recent rise of professional design typographers...Compositors were relatively affluent and high in status..."
