We received a large letterpress cut from Strausberg in Germany
If you have been following along our longer videos, you’ll know that we have been getting quite a few packages in the mail addressed for Jared, Howard, and our print shop exhibit.
Social media has connected us with people from all over the world and we sometimes get wonderful gifts from followers. We received a package in the mail addressed from Alexander all the way in Strausberg in Germany.
In this video, Howard opened the package consisting of some packing peanuts and a large photo engraving. At the end of this video, Howard letterpress printed the engraving using our Washington hand press. This print is of the Illustration to Saint Birgitta of Sweden surrounded by nuns and monks. This is a copy of a woodcut originally engraved by Albrecht Dürer in Nuremberg in the year 1500. We are incredibly thankful for this gift and it is a wonderful addition to our print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum.
