In smaller black letters below the headings, and running from the centre to the right of the poster, 'For senior students, journeymen and managers, wishing to extend / their knowledge beyond the advanced craft stage in all branches of / the printing processes. Part-time day, block release or evening courses'. Below and slightly to the left, in small black typeface, 'An opportunity to gain additional experience in modern methods / of production on the latest and most sophisticated machinery and equipment', and below and to the right, 'For further particulars write to: / T Chapman, London College of Printing, Elephant and Castle, London SE1 6SB'.

Directly below this is the upper half of an identical circle (the lower half disappears out of the picture plain).
