Louis Karpin worked as a colour lithographer at Hartland & Hyde photo engravers and was a member of the Process Engravers Union of NSW.

The Process Engravers Union of NSW was established in 1909. In 1920 the Union amalgamated with the Australian Bookbinders’ and Paper Rulers’ Federated Association, New South Wales Lithographic Association and Letterpress Printers' Machinists' Industrial Union of NSW to form the Amalgamated Printing Trade Employees Union of NSW, a predecessor of the Amalgamated Printing Trades Employees Union of Australia (1949-1967).

Hartland & Hyde was a photo engraving firm establish in the 1880s. In 1941 the firm went into partnership with Max Dupain to create Max Dupain and Associates, with Hartland & Hyde managing the financial side. The partnership continued until 1991, when Hartland & Hyde went into liquidation.
