We were cleaning out a storage room and came across boxes of antique Letterpress cuts(plates)from the early part of the 20th century just collecting dust. Immediatley this piece stood out as something we should put back on press showcasing some great artwork from around 90 years ago. Heath Printing dba DeFrance originally printed with these plates we assume for a campaign against prohibition.
Job Specs:
This piece was printed with 2 letterpresss cuts made from a lead plate mounted to a wood base. Even with the age of the cuts we were able to get a really nice impression into the sheet showcasing the tactile style of Letterpress.
Paper- 300 gram Somerset made from 100% cotton
Ink- 1 pms color + Dense Black
