In the early 1950s, Joseph Haywood Magee – a renowned war correspondent – visited Glasgow.
He documented the working lives of people living in the city for a 1955 edition of Picture Post, a photojournalism magazine.
Under the headline “Let Glasgow Flourish!” his photographs show men and woman at work in a diverse range of factories.
Among them is the Olivetti typewriter factory at Queenslie industrial estate in the east of the city.
At its height, it employed more than 900 people in the design and manufacture of typewriters, many for export. It closed in the 1980s.
