| This is my letterpress printer, an 8×12 Chandler and Price old style platen press. It’s from the 1890s and operated by a foot treadle. When I had it in the garage a friend of Harold’s stopped by and as he was admiring the press said “Hmm, wasn’t the guy who invented printing called Guggenheim?”. Well, no, it was Guttenberg. But the name stuck and that’s what we call my press now. |
