Handprinted on a vintage Chandler & Price 10×15 letterpress using rescued lead type that practices what it preaches.
I rescued this vintage lead type from a retiring printer's discard bin - now it’s one of only four type sets I have in my small letterpress shop. Weathered and damaged from decades of use, it was considered too far gone to be worth saving. But the quote seemed fitting: do what you can, with what you've got, where you are.
Up close, you’ll find slight irregularities and marks of age. That's exactly what makes it right - a perfectly imperfect letterpress art print about making the most of what you have.
Letterpress Print Details:
Two-color letterpress printing: Reflex Blue and Metallic Gold ink
Premium Crane's Lettra Ecru paper - 100% cotton, double-thick, archival quality
Size: 3.5" × 5.5"
Printed on vintage Chandler & Price letterpress
Each handprinted piece carries unique character from rescued vintage type
Inspirational quote print, perfect for home decor or gift giving
For anyone who appreciates handmade letterpress craft with meaning, artisan prints with authentic imperfections, and the beauty of resourcefulness made tangible.
