If you needed an excuse to wear your best or craziest socks, this day is for you because December 4th is National Sock Day! For today, Howard letterpress printed an image from a hand-carved woodcut, made about 130 years ago, from the Lewis Winter Collection. This was printed with green rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. Lewis Winter, who had a wood and photo engraving office at 627 J Street in Sacramento from 1888 to 1910, designed a lot of cuts of clothing items and fabrics for business ads in local newspapers. Do you have a pair of wool socks like the one in this print? • • • #NationalSockDay #sock #socks #woodcut #art #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing #oldsacramento #printmaking
