Fun at the Fair

 

...the Los Angeles Printers Fair, that is (at the International Printing Museum in Carson). We attended this in 2019 and were happy to go back again this year. Lots of vendors selling cards, prints, etc., as well as demonstrations of various printing presses at the museum. Great fun!

Surprise Outing Fun

 On Saturday, B. surprised me with a VERY fun outing up to Carson to the L.A. Printers Fair, held at the International Printing Museum. Many many talented artists and printers had their wares on display...

 A linotype machine! When I first started editing, we still used linotype to print our catalogues.

So very fun...printing, in all its guises, is an amazing thing--without Mr. Gutenberg, we would not have civilization as we know it (the good part of civilization, that is...we can't blame the current state of the world on him!).

Pressing

So in love with old-fashioned metal type and letterpress printing. Such a connection to the past--hello Herr Gutenberg!
