Group broadside project. Each of us set a section in isolation, then
we assembled them into a whole, and printed them on the Vandercook
proof press.
The Longfellow quote is mine. It's been my .plan for about 18 years. The actual color is more green-on-green, but my scanner has really lousy color sense. |

Individual postcard projects. These were printed on one of the
Chandler & Price platen presses.
This one is mine, naturally. The initials are 2 inch (144 point) wooden letters, just beautiful. Down at the bottom of the page, I have a photo of them laid up in a chase. The vertical text is 30 point Franklin Gothic Condensed, and the contact info is 12 point American Typewriter. The Typewriter letters are all different ages and levels of wear, so it has some of the unevenness of a manual typewriter. This was printed in two runs, one for the red initials, one for the black text. I was running the press with a foot treadle, and hand-feeding it. This doesn't allow a lot of time for precise alignment, so they're all slightly different. |

Danielle's postcard. She was in an Orwellian mood. |
 |
Elizabeth's postcard. She did the 4th entry on the group broadside, also Wendell Berry. |
 |
Craig's postcard. Note the hanging punctuation.
This is actually on the same paper as mine. The scanner is crap. |
 |
Wood type initials, locked up in a chase for the red run of my card.
The wooden spacers are called "furniture". The expandable spacers are called "quoins". |

Sarah (the instructor) helping Danielle set the paper stops for the yellow-orange run of her card. Chandler & Price press. |
