Printing some absurd cuts from the Lewis Winter Collection in green ink with a tabletop press

We’ve been sharing throughout this month, for the lead up to Halloween, some of the odd, strange, absurd, and creepy cuts from the Lewis Winter Collection. Due to the popularity of these prints, Jared decided to print more copies. In this video, Jared printed two different electrotypes (copies of woodcuts) that Lewis Winter designed in the 1890s. The first is of a frog riding a penny farthing bicycle and the second print depicts two kids misusing a grindstone. We don’t know why Lewis Winter made these about 130 years ago, but the second print is certainly one of the stranger and most absurd cuts in his collection. This press run of 60 copies of each print was made with green rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. These prints are now for sale, as part of a bundle with 3 other prints, in our museum store and website! https://shopsachistorymuseum.org/BrowsePage.aspx?searchtype=navitem&NavItemID=1000018&removefilter=all #halloween #halloween2023 #green #ink #unintentionalasmr #oddlysatisfying #art #powerofthepress #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing #youtubeshorts #youtube #shorts #short #shortvideo #oldsacramento #halloweenwithshorts
