We are continuing to build up a variety of greeting cards that are available in our museum store at the Sacramento History Museum. In this video, Jared letterpress printed a purple greeting card fit for a variety of occasions using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. The card includes a print of a sewing machine from a photo engraving. This cut was gifted to us by Al from New Jersey. To be a little punny, the text above states, “You’re sew great!” and was typeset in 60 point Cheltenh

March 12th is National Plant A Flower Day! It’s a day to start preparing your garden for spring. For today, Howard letterpress printed an electrotype (copy of a woodcut) from the Bill Gaylord Collection. Bill was a longtime docent at the Sacramento History Museum and was a collector of letterpress cuts. He also was the person who trained Howard in the print shop 27 years ago. We have a few electrotypes similar to this one in our print shop where there is a small mortised box on top of the image.

Since we are a museum, we can’t pass this day up. March 2nd is National Old Stuff Day! While using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852, Jared letterpress printed the oldest woodcut in our print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum. We thought we’d take this opportunity to answer one of our frequently asked questions by our viewers and that is, “What is the oldest cut in the print shop exhibit?” The Lewis Winter Collection contains the oldest cuts at our museum, considering

It has become a tradition here at the Sacramento History Museum to send out holiday cards to our donors and supporters of our institution. These holiday cards (400 this year) were printed using one of our printing presses we have on display in our print shop exhibit, the Chandler & Price jobbing press that was manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio in 1902. While many visitors, especially school children who have visited during a school program, may have seen how this press operates, not many people ge

Printing a larger cut deserves a larger brayer! In this video, Howard prints a copy of a cut. This cut is a reproduction of W.C. Butler’s letter sheet, “Commandments to California Wives.” This was originally published in 1855 and presented a satirical guide for women in California during the Gold Rush. Prints of this are now for sale in our Museum Store! You can find other prints for sale on our website as well! https://shopsachistorymuseum.org/BrowsePage.aspx?searchtype=navitem&NavItemID=100001

We are often asked, “What is the oldest cut in the print shop exhibit?” The Lewis Winter Collection contains the oldest cuts at our museum, considering Winter was in business from 1888 to 1910. However, Winter purchased that business from someone else. In the Lewis Winter Collection, there is a box of miscellaneous unmounted electrotypes (they don’t have a wood block backing). In this video, Jared prints a cut made by Charles H. Holmes, who had a photo and wood engraving office at 627 J Street i
