November 17th is National Homemade Bread Day, a day dedicated to baking bread at home. Well, since we have a large bread advertisement, we thought this cut would suffice! For today, Howard letterpress printed a large electrotype of an advertisement for the Old Home Bread Company. This cut is from 1936, based on the print, and it is one of the largest cuts we have in our print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum. This was likely used to print a double sided sign for grocery stores. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852. #SacHistoryMuseum #homemadebread #bread #printing #museum
