An excellent thread tracing the history of typefounding in America, from the 1700s to today. I'm part of the small core of people working to preserve this important process. Read all the way through for a good overview of the past, present, and future. #letterpress #typecasting
Printing in America starts in 1639 with Elizabeth Glover in Cambridge, Mass. By 1727 Ben Franklin observed: "[T]here was no letter-founder in America". In 1770, Franklin's competitor Christopher Sower II imported type casting equipment. Franklin established his grandson as a typefounder in 1786.

Starting to contemplate First Friday April. This is the poster I plan to reprint - I may make a few font/layout changes. Really the perfect print for the start of #NationalLibraryWeek.

I found this sentiment oddly comforting and printed it, as owning a press means pushing forward in all kinds of circumstances. Selling them to benefit a handful of groups hit hard by the new ‘administration’.
