Letterpress printing the Sacramento History Museum’s 2025 holiday card

It has become a tradition here at the Sacramento History Museum to send out holiday cards to our donors and supporters of our institution. These holiday cards (300 this year) were printed using one of our printing presses we have on display in our print shop exhibit, the 10x15 Chandler & Price Gordon-style jobbing press, which was manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio in 1902. While many visitors, especially school children who have visited during a school program, may have seen how this press operates, not many people get to see all the steps involved in the printing process. In this video, Howard and Jared demonstrate inking the press and operating the press recorded from different camera angles. This video was filmed in segments as Howard and Jared printed the front and back cover of the card with a mix of red and black rubber base ink. The front of the card includes a new photo engraving with the original artwork created by our graphic designer, Shawn. The artwork was made into a copper photo engraving by the OWOSSO Engravers company. The artwork depicts a portion of the wall outside our museum which includes our address number, 101. The back of the card is a photo engraving of a Washington hand press, our museum’s monogram and the text, “Printed at the Sacramento History Museum” in 30 point Caslon font. #holidaycard #happyholidays #merrychristmas #christmas #christmascard #typography #oddlysatisfying #unintentionalasmr #asmr #ink #museum #history #sacramento #letterpress #printingpress #printing #printmaking #oldsacramento #sachistorymuseum #printmaking
