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.
