Video: American Letterpress



Yes, it's more printing press porn, because as much as I love planting my ass in front of a cutting edge laptop all day every day, there's just something about old school technology that sets my nostalgic heart aflutter.  I could watch old school printing presses run all day.
"From the Smithsonian traveling exhibition American Letterpress: The Art of Hatch Show Print, this video shows you the art of letterpress printing as practiced by a 125-year-old Nashville, TN, print shop. Learn why only a handful of letterpress shops still exist in American and why this one is so influential in the music and entertainment industry. A great look at the craft."
