You never know what you’ll discover at the Museum... Just look at this complicated little letterpress set up for McCallister’s Black Beauty casting line!

Imagine designing this ad digitally on a computer versus the complexity of building it from foundry type. Yet so it was in the letterpress years, all in a day’s work. Easy to see why the printer left this job standing in hopes of a repeat order instead of distributing it back in the cases!

What fun we had at the Museum last Saturday pouring over vintage borders, ornaments and type in this newly donated galley cabinet.
.
Made by Hamilton, the cabinet comes with an interesting provenance. A similar cabinet shown in ATF’s 1906 “American Line Type Book” dates it to the early 20th century. The story picks up again on February 16, 1980 when it was purchased by our Museum supporter at a Rhode Island shop for the value of the lead. A restorer removed black paint, repaired damage from a fire and some rot at the base. Three wood galleys that had already been sold were recovered (sans type). For the past 39 years, the cabinet and contents have been carefully used and cared for by this printing family on the Cape. We at the Museum are honored to assume the mantle to safeguard and preserve it, and we extend our sincere thanks to the family for this beautiful donation.

Wrapped up the trumpet print on Thursday. Had a lot of fun making all the curves and finding the perfect letter forms for the specific parts. Excited to see this project continue and all the challenges it’s been presenting. Swipe for a detail shot. .
