Always a fun day when we can get inky! This group from Oakville Community Living learned to ink up & pull a print on the #Vandercook #4 #proofpress. Aside from the #dürer work, they also got to pick & print their choice of cuts from our collection.
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness - Desmond Tutu.

Proofing Day 1 – Fun day at @hiw pulling proofs off some plates of images from the early 20th century on our #Vandercook #4. Among them are works by Lynn Ward, Paul Helms and others. Even #Gutenberg approves! #woodcut #copperetching #proofpress #letterpress

After Morgans died in 1882, M&W continued making type, cabinets, etc., until #HamiltonWoodType bought the type founding part of the business in 1897. M&W kept the printer’s furniture part going until the mid-20th cent. Our M&W #Proofpress is from the mid-1890s. #printinghistory

V is for the hugely popular #VANDERCOOK Proving Presses. Robert Vandercook started making proof presses in #Chicago in 1909. V is for AM #VARITYPER, w/history that went back to Hammond, later Coxhead & Wirtz. #printinghistory #ArchivesAtoZ #printingmuseum #proofpress #letterpress

Sometimes, there is no escaping having to hand-chisel out the dried up sludge in the wash-up blade/sludge pan before cleaning.
