Coming up on January 29th is the Lunar New Year. This year will be the Year of the Snake and we wanted to make a new print to hand out to visitors when they stop by our museum. This linocut was recently engraved by a colleague (theresasaurus_press) who works with Jared and he thought he’d see how letterpress printing it would turn out. The print is of a snake. The text above reads, “Year of the Snake” and was typeset in 24 point Caslon font.
This was printed using a 4x6 Golding Official No. 2 tabletop printing press. Ninety prints were printed on this press run using red oil base ink. Stop by and get this print (while prints last) or make your own snake print at our Lunar New Year event happening at the Sacramento History Museum on February 1st from 10am to 1pm!
