The Red - 8x10 letterpress print

Take me to the Red! The Red River Gorge in Kentucky is a stunning geological area. It is where we like to go for an adventure and to get away. This hand-made 8x10 linocut print was printed on our restored 1909 Chandler & Price letterpress.  Printed on your choice of Crane Lettra cotton or brown kraft paper, this print has some heft. The print makes use of five different fonts from our historic collection of  type. Each paper option is an edition of 50. ☞ ABOUT LETTERPRESS Letterpress printing is a traditional form of printing involving the use of historical letters and designs cut into wood and metal, which are pressed into the surface of the paper to create a tactile embossed effect. This printing method was developed in the 15th century and was widely used for centuries to produce books, posters, business cards, and other printed materials. Today, The Rugged Press and other contemporary printers value letterpress printing for its handmade, visually distinct, and tactile qualities
