If you needed an excuse to do laundry, April 15th is National Laundry Day! For today, Howard letterpress printed an image of an 1890s washing machine. This electrotype (copy of woodcut) was made about 125-135 years ago from the Lewis Winter Collection. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852. #NationalLaundryDay #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #printing
