November 24th is the start of Thanksgiving Week! For today, Howard letterpress printed a little reminder to get you ready for the big day. The print was made from a piece of lead alloy type, also called a sort, and depicts a pilgrim carrying a blunderbuss and turkey.

This very small sort from a handy pack, which is less than an inch square, is from the Frank Cowsert Collection. This is from a handy pack made by the American Type Founders in the 1920s. Handy packs contain small symbols for informational or advertising purposes for printers in the letterpress trade. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was manufactured in 1852.

We are often asked if multiple ink colors can be used on a single impression. In this video, Jared letterpress prints a phrase about museums showing that 6 ink colors is possible. The phrase “Museums are not neutral” was printed with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple ink using our Washington hand press. The wood type used is 15 line pica in size and the typeface is French Clarendon.

Our museum, like all museums, is not neutral. People often argue that museums should be neutral or that museums can’t be “political.” However, museums actually are cultural institutions that originate from colonial acquisition and they are about power. History is often written by the victors. It is important for museums to focus on multiple sources and perspectives, especially historically underrepresented groups. Promoting diversity is important to understanding a more holistic history of events.
