What a spectacular #ironhandpress #albionpress No back to work Mark, I needed the distraction!!!! Every time we get one thing done one more thing needs to be done! Opening an 1850’s Mercantile, Letterpress Printing Shop and Rare Paper and Ephemera Archive is littered with project after project just to get open! Today we’re repairing an 1888 Bakery table from France! #detailsmatter #artmatters #designmatters and I'm about to show you why. I am turning my hobby of 48 years now of collecting millions of labels, books, poster stamps, and other types of graphic design history into a special destination. Now with about 8 million pieces, I have decided to open a historic Letterpress and Stone Lithography printing shop and rare Ephemera Mercantile and Antiquarian Paper and Collector's store all designed like an 1850's to 1920's old country store! Stay tuned. Here are a few I selected for The Pressroom and Mercantile that are coming together beautifully! Today was awesome. Each day we take huge leaps forward. Soon we'll be starting our journaling classes and scrapbook projects here along with many other workshops and we're looking for creative, awesome, collaborators to complete the transformation of @theboxsf into this new unique concept. In a few months you will be able to come in and order beautifully designed letterpress printing, posters, ephemera, stationery, books, antiques and rare printed objects! We'll also carry amazing Letterpress Printing, Fine Arts Prints, Stone Litho and more, featuring work of some of the finest and most creative Designers and Printers on the planet! This will truly be a destination!!!! We're so excited to be building this very unique concept here in San Francisco, California! #destination #design #ephemera #archive #letterpress #letterpressshop #letterpressprinting #presses #stonelithography #lithography #printing #art #creativelife #creativity #historic #history #notallwhowanderarelost #hamiltontypecase #destination #art #books #bookarts #letterpressstudio #allthingsprinted #bookarts (at The Box SF)
