Printing a 130 year old woodcut as an introduction to the print shop at the Sac History Museum

As we continue to grow and expand the print shop on social media for the Sacramento History Museum, someone new has donned a denim apron and sleeve protectors. In this video, Channey letterpress printed one of her favorite cuts in the print shop which is a hand carved woodcut in the Lewis Winter Collection. This cut was made 125-135 years ago and depicts a small bird perched on a branch or a shrub that is in full bloom. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852. #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing #printmaking #oldsacramento #youtubeshorts #youtube #shorts #shortvideo #springonshorts
