30 Postcards (six letter-pressed) + A2 fold-out pamphlet
This set is a celebration of printing history and wood type. Housed in a deluxe box with a letterpress-printed wood veneer sleeve, the postcards showcase photographs of treasures from the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, home to one of the world's largest collections of wood type. Also included are six letterpressed art cards, printed onsite at Hamilton, and a folded broadside describing the museum's history.
The Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, is home to the largest collection (over 1.5 million specimens) of wood type in North America. Artists, designers, letterpress or typography enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates wood type, printing, or analogue processes will be inspired by the incredible legacy of print that these postcards celebrate. These postcards not only channel the vintage appeal of wood type, but they do so with the authority of one of the largest collections of wood type in the world, and celebrate the rich history of print that the Hamilton Museum preserves.

Great selection, amazing value, fast/efficient delivery. Highly recommend!
Lovely books at a great price, delivered really quickly and very well packaged.
I haven't used this book yet, but as a novice oil painter, it will be very helpful in learning techniques used by the masters, albeit quite basic approaches and styles. It gives step-by-step guidance via illustrated tutorials, basic information such as equipment and the colours to use in each exercise areprovided. What could possibly go wrong?
This is a comprehensive overview of works of art from earliest times until the late 20th century. It's immediately accessible to read and engaging. My only grumble is that many of the photos are small and in black and white. The text and the works themselves merit better treatment, but that would make this already weighty tome unmanageable and prohibitively expensive. I'm very pleased with this book and will enjoy it.
A lovely book, found by chance and given as a gift.
Bought as Present and they loved its unique format
Fascinating and good comparative text and images.
Excellent book, in depth text and plates that I haven't seen before, perfect!
Great book about the man of 60s music
Beautiful book - made a great gift. Thank you x
I bought to wrap up presents but it somehow felt wrong to cut up these wonderful graphic designs!
Great. Rapidio!
Another great read
A great read
Nice selection of books. Competively priced. Easy to order online. Super fast delivery. The books were really well packed and protected which was impressive. Will definitely shop again at Books About Art.
