The frame measures approximately 28.5cm by 34cm. Thomas Forman came to Nottingham in 1848 and acquired a printing works on Long Row from a printer named Oliver. His four sons all eventually became partners in the business and the name ‘Thomas Forman & Sons’ was assumed. In 1870, the business moved to Sherwood Street with a frontage on what is now Forman Street. Due to the expanding business, the partnership was dissolved in 1919 and the general printing side of the business, headed by James Forman and his son Dudley P. Forman, moved to new premises on Hucknall Road in 1926. The building was the first purpose built printing factory in the country and the original façade still remains today.
