March 15th is the Ides of March. It is on this day in 44 BC that Julius Caesar, the emperor of Rome, was assassinated. For today, Jared letterpress printed the last words of Caesar. While we truly don’t know Caesar’s last words, the quote “Et tu, Brute?” (And you, Brutus?) appears in Act 3 Scene 1 of William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. It is in this scene where the line is spoken by Caesar to his friend Marcus Junius Brutus, upon recognizing him as one of the assassins. The phrase “Et tu, Brute?” was typeset in 30 point Engravers Old English font. This was printed with black rubber base ink using a Washington hand press. #SacHistoryMuseum #idesofmarch #onthisday #asmr #printing
