Visit your local library! Amazing exhibition of early twentieth century type in the (to be filled in later with the correct name!) Room at the Providence Public Library, main floor across from the Ship Room. Sample shown is from a 1926 specimen book from "Aviation Press".. Free and open to the public! @providencepubliclibrary @specialcollections @rhodeislandcollection @divegetables #letterpress #type #typography #cyrillictype #library #iheartmylibrary (at Providence Public Library)

In case you missed @mcartorism at the @buildersball this weekend, you can still pick up his amazing new letterpress bicycle plate abcedarium poster made up of independent builder logos at @stilllife_club online or @dashbicycle locally (and loveably according to spell check!). Mitch is always a pleasure to print and work with... #letterpress #bikelife #bikenameplatethingy #bikelogo #abcedarium #alphabet (at DWRI Letterpress)
