Signs of Spring
Wood Type Collage Broadside

This 8"x10" broadside is printed letterpress using my collection of wood type, in four colors, on thick off-white stock. The colors are light blue, light green, yellow green and red. This is a limited edition of 38, with each broadside numbered on the back. Each print is slightly different, due to anomalies in inking.

The broadside fits is a standard frame. Sent in a flat no-bend cardboard envelope with a protective plastic sleeve.

Sold Out.

Wood type, a cheaper alternative to metal type, has long been used to print posters and broadsides. The Hamilton Wood Type Printing Museum in Wisconsin has a lovely website with information about the history of wood type and lots of pictures.
