Joyful blue wood type - small poster
Delightful hand printed greeting.
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 sky blue. 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.
- Press. Printed by hand on a 1960s Stephenson Blake galley proofing press; and 1910 cast iron treadle press.
- Paper. 280gsm paper made on the oldest still-running mechanical paper mill in the world (and which is located in England). Envelope is made from the same.
- Size. 105mm x 148mm.
- Fount. Assorted wood type, mostly Gill Sans in various sizes.
- Framing options. Unframed: single-sided card (greeting cards are also available, please put a note at checkout if you would like a greeting card). Ready for framing: red mat.
- Produced in small batches. Each card is hand numbered for the batch it was produced from. Each batch (intentionally) varies slightly.
Sometimes available in other colours.
All of our papers are recycled, and British where possible. We can provide you specific details on certifications each paper has, and the mill where they were made.
