June 25th is the International Day of the Seafarer! It is a United Nations observation that recognizes the invaluable contribution seafarers make to international trade and the global economy. While we don’t have many seafaring cuts in our print shop at the Sacramento History Museum, fear naut! Howard navigated a very detailed photo engraving to letterpress print for today. This cut was made in the early 2000s to promote a special exhibit that was in conjunction with the Folsom History Museum. This was printed with a gradient of four colors of ink using our Washington hand press, which was manufactured in 1852. #SacHistoryMuseum #seafarer #museumtok #printing #sactiktok
