Any idea what these serious men are about to compete for?

The answer to come in our next post…

In honor of the July 4th weekend we have colorized this eagle and shield image. It comes from “Cuts, Borders, and Ornaments” in the Robinson-Pforzheimer Typographical Collection at the New York Public Library.

Happy 4th!

Happy Caturday from the Museum of Printing!

This image is from a wonderful donation of woodcuts, linocuts, etchings, prints, ephemera and books by distinguished artist and author Marian Parry of Runcible Press. Her work is slated for future exhibit.

The term "printer's devil" describes a person, often a boy, who is not quite yet an apprentice in a printing establishment, and is given tasks including mixing ink and gathering type. (1/7)

(This devil with a composing stick is from the 1900 ATF Desk Book of Type Specimens.)
