Joyful yellow wood type - double impression small poster
There is nothing efficient about the making of these small posters. They are the epitome of slow, thoughtful, hand-made work. The letters are arranged on the proofing press and loosely locked into position. They are then inked by hand in a custom shade of yellow, (which perfectly matches our field journals). The card is then placed onto the inked wooden letters, and the roller passed over the card to take the impression. Once dried, the backs are printed again on our 1910 cast iron proofing press with information about our studio. The letters are all individually chosen from a type case and locked into position.
Delightful hand printed small poster or unframed notecard (single sided).
