## Caption

May 16th is National Drawing Day, but why draw something when you can do letterpress printing? For today, Howard printed an image from two woodcuts that was made roughly 125-130 years ago from the Lewis Winter Collection.  These woodcuts, like most woodcuts, started out as a drawing before the desired image was hand-carved backwards on a woodblock. It would be carved backwards because anything we print, we get the mirror image. These woodcuts depict a spur and a horse bridle. It is very small but you can see “L. Winter” next to each image. These are some of the more detailed woodcuts in the Winter Collection. #SacHistoryMuseum #NationalDrawingDay #drawing #woodcut #museum #sacramento #History #printing #printingpress #letterpress  #printmaking
