Bureau of Engraving & Printing, Washington, USA
These pictures were categorised as Printing Shops in Washington, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, c1920-1950, although taking a clue from the clothing worn, I would guess that they could be pinned down to c1930.
What puzzled me about the photographs is that a great deal of attention seems to be being paid to a fairly run-of-the-mill-looking printing press.

No other composing machine can match the range, capacity and versatility of the Rangemaster Model 35 Mixer without using auxiliary magazines.
With the Blue Streak 35, the operator can keyboard large headlines and advertising display, eliminating slow hand setting. He may also keyboard the most intricate two- and three-line food store and other mixed composition, eliminating cut-ins and reducing make-up time.
