We like to find “national holidays” online as an excuse to highlight or print many of the historic cuts or materials in our Print Shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum. Today is a good example of that because May 27th is National Grape Day! For today, Jared letterpress printed an electrotype (copy of a woodcut) from the Lewis Winter Collection. The print depicts a variety of fruit with grapes appearing on the right side of the print. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852. #SacHistoryMuseum #NationalGrapeDay #fruit #grape #grapes #museum #History #sacramento #letterpress #printingpress #printing
