Howard prints a large photo engraving that was designed to make Mother’s Day cards (May 10)

It’s not often that we have a letterpress cut in our print shop exhibit designed for a specific holiday (besides Christmas). Happy Mother’s Day from the Sacramento History Museum! In this video, Howard letterpress printed an image from a photo engraving that was originally used for printing Mother’s Day greeting cards many MANY years ago. The text in the print states, “MOTHERS DAY GREETINGS Greetings ~ Wonderful Mother of Mine You've told me you loved me on many a Line-.” This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. #mothersday #mothersdaycard #mothersday2026 #greetingcard #art #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #printing #oldsacramento #printmaking #ytshorts #youtubeshorts #youtube #shorts #short #shortvideo #springonshorts
