impressions of america

Studio mate and all-round lovely chap Mark Pavey has just embarked on a letterpress research trip of America, visiting Reverting to Type contributors Hatch Show Print in Nashville and Yee Haw Industries in Knoxville, Tennessee. His journey begins at Hamilton Woodtype Museum (as featured in Typeface, the film of this post) in the rural town of Two Rivers, Wisconsin which was at one time a producer of wood type and cabinets on an enormous scale.

The first installment on Mark's blog covers his initial impressions of Hamilton and promises to give a great account of his type odyssey. I will be checking regularly, slowly turning green with envy.
