Using archival records and primary sources derived from English, Scottish, Irish, Australasian, South African, and North American print trade union sources, this chapter examines the phenomenon of the ‘tramping typographer’ in the long nineteenth century. English-speaking printers circulated across regions and continents, acting as transmitters of union values and trade skills, and becoming central to the expansion of labour interests in new territories. Such circulation of highly skilled workers played its part in the development of nineteenth-century anglophone print economies. Between 1830 and 1914, supported by emigration and removal grant schemes, printers and print union members circulated overseas, setting up businesses, engaging in labour and union politics, and creating the print culture infrastructures that sustained social, communal, and national communication and identity.

From the 1840s, and over the course of the next six decades, new and emerging print trade unions backed the launch of monthly typographical trade press journals in the USA, UK, South Africa, and Australia. Many were short-lived, or underwent multiple transformations of title, frequency, and format throughout their lifespan. The aim of these journals was to inform, entertain, and support the development of a cooperative, shared professional trade identity and working-class literary culture. They shared information and borrowed material from each other, reproducing trade news, working-class poetry and other items from sister publications when needed. A feature of many of these typographical journals was the use of in-house compositor-poets and creative writers. Many of these individuals have now been forgotten. One of the aims of this chapter is to focus attention on their roles as labour laureates and on their significance in cultural history and print culture studies.
