For #DMU155 we have this fab pic of a metalworking class, 1938. Back when @dmuleicester.bsky.social was known locally as the Colleges of Art & Tech. But is #metalworking art or tech? Or both? 🤯 @exploreyourarchive.bsky.social @librarydmu.bsky.social @araukie.bsky.social sky.social #metalworking

What could be better for #DMU155 & #WorldBookDay than this pic from a @dmuhistory.bsky.social bookbinding class, 1940. Hmm a fave book from the 40s... I capture the castle? Titus Groan? What about yours?
