## Caption

We are building up a variety of letterpress greeting cards for a variety of occasions, including Valentine’s Day, and this card is beary special! The text on the card is typeset in 36 point Cheltenham Bold Condensed font and it says “You’re beary special!”

The electrotype of the bear was made roughly 80-90 years ago and it is from the Bill Gaylord Collection. The back of the card includes an image of a Washington hand press and the words “Printed at the Sacramento History Museum.” This was letterpress printed with a blue rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. Fifty cards were printed on this press run. This card and other cards are available in our Museum Store.
