We have been preparing a wide variety of letterpress printed greeting cards to have available in our museum store and website. Known also as the “Festival of Lights,” we have a Hanukkah card to add to our collection of holiday cards available in our museum store.
In this video, Jared shows the letterpress printing process to print the card. The phrase, “Happy Hanukkah!” was typeset with 24 point Caslon font. The image of a menorah is from a linoleum cut made by a local linocut artist and colleague (theresasaurus_press) of
Jared at his other job. This was printed with blue rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press.
