@sachistorymuseum: If you needed an excuse to do some baking today, here you go! September 23rd is National Baker Day, a day dedicated to the baking profession. For today, Jared letterpress printed an image from a 125-135 year old electrotype (copy of a woodcut) from the Lewis Winter Collection of something you would use to bake in from the late 1800s. The text below the print of a cast iron stove and oven was typeset in 24 point Stymie Condensed font and reads, “National Baker Day.” Lewis Winter was a woodcut artist and engraver who had his business at 627 J Street in Sacramento from 1888 to 1910. Many of the cuts in his collection at our museum are of items that would have been featured in catalogs and magazines in the 1890s. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. #SacHistoryMuseum #NationalBakerDay #sacramento #museum #printing
