September 19th is Talk Like A Pirate Day! For today, Howard turned to some large wood type that we have in our print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum to share his favorite pirate related joke. This large letter C is 30 line pica (5 inches). This piece of type was made roughly 135 years ago by the Hamilton Wood Type Company in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. This was printed with a mix of red and opaque white rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852. #SacHistoryMuseum #TalkLikeAPirateDay #jokes #museumtok #printing
